Ant Names

The taxon names used within Antwiki were originally created using Barry Bolton's New General Catalogue, a list of the world's ants. Within the Catalogue names are classified in a number of ways, such as those that are valid (that is, are currently in use), synonyms (and are not in use) and fossils, as well as informal categories such as unidentifiable or unplaced (incertae sedis). The following lists have been created based on this information and provide an easy way to find these sets of names sorted by category.
 * Nomen dubium
 * Unavailable Species Names
 * Dubious Type Localities
 * Unidentifiable Taxon (incertae sedis)

In addition, the following are more traditional ways of sorting names.

Listed below are notes about names that we are sorting out and working on. All of this text here (under this bar) will be edited out once we have things all sorted out.

The four lists at the top of this page (Nomen dubium, unavailable, dubious type localities, and unidentifiable) are good for sets of names that otherwise would have no organized list. They are also useful for keeping the list of orphan pages down to a level where we can potentially identify problem named pages. If we need to make other lists, on other pages, we can do so.

Here are a few other types of odd names that we need to work through and be sure we are clear about what they are and how they need to be handled (e.g., do some sets need their own page, do they need to be fixed by hand after creating the species pages).
