Nomenclature

 * 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.
