Nylanderia anthracina

Despite the best efforts of LaPolla & Kallal (2019), they could not locate type material of N. anthracina. This is problematic because the description by Roger (1863) is insufficient for determining the identity of this species, and we therefore consider it an unidentifiable taxon. Based on the limited species description available it is possible this species is the senior synonym of Nylanderia guatemalensis, but without examination of type material we cannot make this determination.
