Nomenclature
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World.
- princeps. Phyracaces princeps Clark, 1934b: 24, pl. 2, fig. 4 (w.) AUSTRALIA.
- Combination in Cerapachys: Brown, 1975: 23.
- Synonym of clara: Brown, 1975: 23, 65; Taylor & Brown, 1985: 27; Bolton, 1995b: 144; Heterick, 2009: 127.
- [Note: all these authors give princeps as senior synonym, but clara has priority. The error arose from Brown’s assumption that clara was a junior homonym, which is not the case.]
