Talk:Solomon Islands

Dubious Records for Solomon Islands Species List
Camponotus pallens. Formica pallens Le Guillou, 1842: 316. Type locality Tonga: Vavao. Although there are several Vavao islands in the Pacific, including the Solomon Islands, the original description lists the type locality as Vavao (íles des Amis), which suggests Tonga (often referred to as the ‘Friendly Islands’) is the more likely country. Moreover, the species does not appear in the literature as occurring in the Solomons.
