(Smith, 1859)
valid
Ponera parallela
Smith, 1859a:
143 (w.)
INDONESIA (Aru Is).
Indomalaya.
Primary type information:
Type-material: 2 syntype workers. Type-locality: Indonesia: Aru Is (A.R. Wallace). Type-depository: OXUM.
Type notes:
One worker is labelled as holotype and bears a Donisthorpe type-label. There is a second specimen in OXUM, from the same locality, and with the data label written in the same thickly-marked ink, but the method of mounting is not the same. Nevertheless, this specimen is also considered to belong to the type-series.
