Nomenclature
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World.
- GONIOTHORAX [junior homonym, see Nesomyrmex]
- Goniothorax Emery, 1896g: 58 (diagnosis in key) [as subgenus of Leptothorax]. Type-species: Leptothorax vicinus, by subsequent designation of Wheeler, W.M. 1911f: 164. [Junior homonym of Goniothorax Milne-Edwards, 1879: 103 (Crustacea).]
- Goniothorax Emery senior synonym of Caulomyrma, Nesomyrmex: Emery, 1924d: 249. Nesomyrmex is oldest junior synonym of Goniothorax Emery and hence first available replacement name: Smith, M.R. 1950: 30.
- [Goniothorax as subgenus of Leptothorax: Wheeler, W.M. 1910g: 139; Forel, 1917: 244; Wheeler, W.M. 1922a: 679; Emery, 1924d: 249; Creighton, 1950a: 259.]
- GONIOMYRMEX [unavailable name]
- Goniomyrmex Ashmead, 1905b: 383, incorrect subsequent spelling of Goniothorax Emery.
