Treatment

Leptogenys pangui Xu, 2000 View in CoL

Material examined. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve , collection date unknown, D.H. Murphy leg., C1-19, ZRC _HYM_0000681; Sime Road, 15 Dec 1975, D.H. Murphy leg., ZRC _ HYM_0000907 .

Material not physically examined. Unknown.

Literature. None. New record (but see Remarks).

Localities. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve; Sime Road.

Habitat/Ecology. This species was found in either primary or old/mature secondary forest.

Remarks. The Singapore specimens may in fact be a closely-related but different species with characters intermediate between L. pangui and the smaller L. assamensis . General characters of the ZRC material, however, confer more with the original description of the former species, thus we tentatively treat this material as L. pangui . This treatment may possibly change in future when more empirical evidence is made available.
