| Etymology | The specific name howense is adjectival, meaning “Lord Howe Island”. In Monomorium (neuter), the neuter ending -ense is correct. Under recombination with Chelaner (masculine), mandatory gender agreement (Art. 31.2) requires the form howensis. |
| Primary type information | Primary type material: syntype workers (number not stated. “numerous”), 5 syntype queens, 2 syntype ergatoid queens. Primary type locality: Australia: Lord Howe I., 1915-16 (A.M. Lea). Primary type depository: MCZC (perhaps also SAMA). |
