Monomorium brasiliense Forel View in CoL HNS

Monomorium minutum subsp. brasiliense Forel HNS , 1908: 361 (w).

Monomorium monomorium subsp. brasiliense HNS : Brandao, 1991: 357.

Monomorium brasiliense HNS : Bolton, 1995: 260.

Bolton (1987) did not study the type of this species, nor the possibly corresponding native Monomorium HNS material. The Monomorium HNS native to South America are moderate to large in size; M. inusuale HNS and M. delabiei HNS are small but with HW greater than 0.60 mm. There is a possibility that M. brasiliense HNS might in fact be a tramp species, erroneously described by Forel as a different (subspecific) taxon.
