Dilobocondyla fulva Viehmeyer, 1916 View in CoL

Material examined. None available.

Material not physically examined. Types – CASENT0908982, ANTC31413 ( MHNG); workers, queen and male, FOCOL1971-1974 ( ZMHB) [as types of D. cataulacoidea var. fulva ] .

Literature. Type – Viehmeyer (1916), Overbeck (1924) [both as D. cataulacoidea var. fulva ]. Wheeler (1924); Taylor (1991) [raised to species].

Localities. Bukit Timah Road

Habitat/Ecology. A presumably arboreal species, the type colony series was found in a hollowed-out pith channel of a twig of a mangosteen tree in a garden.

Remarks. Type locality in Singapore. This species was originally described as a subspecies of Dilobocondyla cataulacoidea (see Viehmeyer 1916), before being raised to species status by Taylor (1991). A few congeneric worker specimens from the same locality (i.e., Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, not equivalent to the type locality) were determined to confer more with D. sebesiana Wheeler, 1924 sensu lato (uncertain since only the queen has been described for the latter species).
