- Type-locality: Malaysia: Sarawak, “SAR. 25” (A.R. Wallace).
- Type-depository: OXUM.
- Combination in C. (Decacrema): Donisthorpe, 1932c: 450.
- Status as species: Smith, F. 1858b: 137; Mayr, 1863: 404; Roger, 1863b: 37; Smith, F. 1871a: 329; André, 1892b: 53; Dalla Torre, 1893: 80; Wheeler, W.M. 1919e: 72; Emery, 1922e: 158; Donisthorpe, 1932c: 450; Chapman & Capco, 1951: 95; Bolton, 1995b: 150; Pfeiffer, et al. 2011: 45; Feldhaar, et al. 2016: 681 (redescription).

The following notes on F. Smith type specimens have been provided by Barry Bolton (details):
Two worker syntypes in Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Labelled “SAR. 25.” The two specimens on the card appear to be different species.
