Nomenclature

 *  eudora. Polyrhachis eudora Smith, F. 1860b: 99, pl. 1, fig. 19 (w.q.) INDONESIA (Batjan I.). Combination in P. (Myrmothrinax): Emery, 1925b: 183. Unidentifiable taxon, incertae sedis in Polyrhachis: Kohout, 1998: 528.

TYPE-MATERIAL NOT FOUND. A queen in and a worker in  were formerly regarded as syntypes of this species. Both are labelled “Bac.” (= Batjan I.), the locality given by Smith, and the queen has a Donisthorpe type-label. However, it is apparent from Smith’s description and figure that true eudora belongs in subgenus Myrmothrinax, whereas both these specimens are of subgenus Myrma. They are not type-material of eudora.
