Polyrhachis compressicornis

Distribution
This taxon was described from Indonesia (Sulawesi).

Nomenclature

 *  compressicornis. Polyrhachis compressicornis Smith, F. 1860a: 69 (w.q.) INDONESIA (Sulawesi). Combination in P. (Myrma): Emery, 1925b: 200.



One worker syntype and one dealate queen syntype in. Labelled “Mak.” (= Makassar, Sulawesi), the worker with a Donisthorpe type-label.

Smith did not give a type-locality in the original description of this species. The only specimens in that met the original description of this species were these two from Makassar, the worker of which was already regarded as a type by Donisthorpe. I can find no reason to doubt his designation.
