This taxon is not in use as it is currently considered to be a junior synonym of Syllophopsis jonesi.
Nomenclature
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World.
- arnoldi. Syllophopsis arnoldi Santschi, 1921c: 120, fig. 2d,e (w.) SOUTH AFRICA.
- [Note: genus misspelled as Syllopsis in original description title; correctly spelled in legend of fig. 2.]
- Type-material: 4 syntype workers.
- Type-locality: South Africa: Natal, Mfongosi (Jones).
- Type-depository: NHMB, SAMC.
- [Junior secondary homonym of Monomorium arnoldi Forel, 1913a: 137.]
- Status as species: Ettershank, 1966: 101.
- Replacement name: Monomorium (Syllophopsis) jonesi Arnold, 1952a: 465.
Taxonomic Notes
As the replacement name jonesi was proposed before 1960 (when both arnoldi taxa were included in Monomorium), the replacement name retains validity under ICZN Art. 59.3. Therefore the priority awarded by Ward, et al. 2015: 73, is incorrect.
