Description

Leptogenys (Lobopelta) diminuta Sm. subsp. fruhstorferi Em. var. huruensis Karavaiev, 1925c: 278, w.

Current status: unavailable (infrasubspecific) name. Material referred to Leptogenys diminuta diminuta (Smith F., 1857: 69) by Wilson, 1958: 118 (s/f Ponerinae).

Type locality(-ies): “Tifoe (Boeroe), Nr. 2437, ww”.

Original Karawajew labels: 2 w, “Tifoe, Boeroe, / Karavaiev, / 2437.”, “ L. (Lobopelta) / diminuta fruhst. / v. buruensis Ka- / rav. Typus. 1923.”, “Cotypus Leptogenys / diminuta fruhstorf. / v. buruensis Kar. ”; 4 w on 2 pins with the same labels; 2 w, “Tifu, Buru / Karavaiev.”, “2437. Coll. / Karavaievi”, “ L. (Lobopelta) / diminuta v. / buruensis Kar. / typus ”, “Cotypus Leptogenys / diminuta fruhstorf. / buruensis Karav.”; 9 w on 3 pins, “2437. Coll. / Karavaievi”, “Cotypus Leptogenys / diminuta fruhstorf. / buruensis Kar.”.

Material: SYNTYPES, 16 w (CASENT0916838) (Box 4).

Notes. This name was originally misspelled as var. huruensis, but Chapman & Capco (1951: 34) correctly emended the spelling to buruensis. The latter name is correct since this taxon was named after the type locality, Buru Island, which is supported by Karawajew’s original labels (see also Bolton 1995, 2023).
