Description
Tetraponera allaborans -group: new synonymy of Malagasy species
The T. allaborans -group is represented in the Malagasy region by about 30 species (10 described), which form a single clade (Chomicki et al. 2015; Ward, unpubl.). This group will receive treatment in a forthcoming revision. Here synonymy is documented for five of the described species (T. hysterica, T. longula, T. mandibularis, T. morondaviensis, and T. sahlbergii). With these synonymies established, the remaining valid names (T. diana, T. exasciata, T. fictrix, T. perlonga, and T. rakotonis) are believed to represent bona fide species.
