Nomenclature

 *  punctata. Pachycondyla (Ectomomyrmex) punctata Karavaiev, 1935a: 71, fig. 5 (w.q.) VIETNAM. [Unresolved junior primary homonym of Pachycondyla punctata Smith, F. 1858b: 108 (Bolton, 1995b: 308).]

Syntype worker and male, not found in. A queen of this species in, labelled as type of punctata, belongs to that species but has a det. label “P. pilosula Sm.” and a white, rectangular label “Type. F. Smith coll. 79.22.” The original description of punctata did not mention a queen, and the date, (18)79, is far too late.
