Ponera rugosa

Holotype dealate queen in. Labelled “SAR. 20,” and “rugosa Sm.” There is also a Donisthorpe type-label and one that states “Stictoponera wallacei Donisthorpe,” his replacement name for the preoccupied P. rugosa F. Smith.

There is a specimen in that is incorrectly labelled as type of rugosa; it is actually a worker of Gnamptogenys menadensis (Mayr).
