Pseudomyrmex spinicola infernalis (Wheeler, 1942) junior synonym of current valid taxon Pseudomyrmex spinicola (Emery, 1890)
Pseudomyrma spinicola subsp. infernalis Wheeler, 1942: 180 (w.q.m.) PANAMA. Neotropic.
Primary type information: Primary type material: lectotype worker (by designation of Ward, 1993: 150). Primary type locality: lectotype Panama: Canal Zone, nr Red Tank, along Chivachiva Trail (W.M. Wheeler). Primary type depository: MCZC. Secondary type information: Secondary type material: paralectotype workers, paralectotype queens, paralectotype males (numbers not stated). Secondary type locality: same as for lectotype. Secondary type depositories: AMNH, MCZC. Type notes: 1) The type locality was earlier restricted to Panama: Canal Zone, Las Cascades by Wheeler, 1942: 181. 2) As well as Chivachiva Trail, Red Tank, Ward, 1993: 150, also includes Venado, and Las Sabanas as syntype localities; Venado is mentioned in the original description but Las Sabanas is not. 3) A locality mentioned by Wheeler, Pueblo Nuevo, is omitted by Ward. It is arguable that only material from Las Cascades (the originally stated type locality) should constitute the type series.
