Polyrhachis denticulata

Identification
Kohout (2013): Polyrhachis denticulata is rather similar to Polyrhachis penelope which resulted in specimens collected by F. Dahl at Ralum, being identified as P. penelope by Forel (1901:31). However, the differences separating the species are rather obvious and are discussed in the remarks section under the latter species.

Distribution based on Regional Taxon Lists
Australasian Region: Australia. Indo-Australian Region: Indonesia, New Guinea.

Kohout (2013): Males and immature stages were apparently collected by F. Dahl at Ralum (Bismarck Archipelago) and should be lodged in the. However, in a recent visit I failed to locate the material and consider it lost.
