Nomenclature

 *  brevispinosus. Pristomyrmex brevispinosus Emery, 1887b: 451 (w.m.) INDONESIA (Sumatra). Senior synonym of formosae, yaeyamensis: Wang, M. 2003: 428. See also: Lin & Wu, 1998: 95.
 * formosae. Pristomyrmex formosae Lin & Wu, 1998: 95, figs. 33-36 (w.) TAIWAN. Senior synonym of yaeyamensis (because Yamane & Terayama, 1999: 20 state that yaeyamensis was based on "formosae Forel, an invalid name", as also was formosae Lin & Wu. Hence formosae Lin & Wu is automatically synonymous with yaeyamensis and both are junior synonyms of brevispinosus: Wang, M. 2003: 428.) See also: Xu & Zhang, 2002: 69.
 * yaeyamensis. Pristomyrmex yaeyamensis Yamane & Terayama, 1999: 18, figs. 1-3 (w.q.) JAPAN. Junior synonym of formosae Lin & Wu (see note under the latter name); of brevispinosus: Wang, M. 2003: 428.
