Platythyrea punctata (Smith, 1858) valid

Pachycondyla punctata Smith, 1858a: 108 (w.m.) DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. Neotropic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: 1 syntype worker, 1 syntype male. Primary type locality: Dominican Republic: St. Domingo (no further data). Primary type depository: unknown (not in BMNH (presumed lost)). Type notes: 1) The syntypes could not be found in BMNH. 2) A queen of this species in BMNH, labelled as type of Platythyrea punctata, is correctly identified but has an incorrect label “P. pilosula Sm.”, and a white, rectangular label “Type. F. Smith coll. 79.22.” The original description of Platythyrea punctata did not mention a queen, and the date, (18)79, is far too late (it probably indicates a Farren-White donation date) (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978).
