Ponera striata Smith, 1860b: 104 (w.) INDONESIA (Bacan I.). Australasia.

Primary type information: Type-material: holotype worker. Type-locality: Indonesia: Bachian (= Bacan) “Bac” (A.R. Wallace). Type-depository: presumed lost (not in BMNH, OXUM). Type notes: A single worker in OXUM fits the description reasonably well and is labelled “striata”, but its locality of “M” (Misool I.) is incorrect, not the stated type-locality of “Bac”.
