Combination in Bothroponera: Emery, 1889b: 495; Bingham, 1903: 97; in Pachycondyla (Bothroponera): Emery, 1901a: 45. Junior synonym of rufipes: Forel, 1886d: 246.

Holotype (presumed) worker in. Labelled “type. Sm. Coll. 79. 32.” No locality is given. In the original description Smith gives the type-locality as “Australia?.” There is thus no proof that this specimen is in fact the holotype. If the “79” refers to 1879, that would rule out this specimen.
