Description
Paraparatrechina kongming (Terayama, 2009), comb. nov.
Paratrechina kongming Terayama, 2009: 212 (w.). Holotype worker, TAIWAN: Nantou Hsien, Tayulin, 3000m, 21.ix.1997 (S. Yamane) (NIAS) [examined].
Notes. This species was described before LaPolla et al. (2010a) revived Paraparatrechina and was never formally moved to the appropriate genus. It bears a strong resemblance to Paraparatrechina sauteri and has morphological features consistent with other Paraparatrechina species, including the distinct 2, 1 (pronotum, mesonotum) pattern of pairs of macrosetae on the mesosoma and shallow and incomplete mesosomal sutures.
