Leptogenys pompiloides ( Smith, 1857) View in CoL
Material examined. None available.
Material not physically examined. Male, CASENT0281941, ANTC20700 ( BMNH).
Literature. Type – Smith (1857) [as Ponera pompiloides ; see Remarks].
Localities. Unknown.
Habitat/Ecology. Unknown in the Singapore context.
Remarks. This species was first described based on males apparently collected from Singapore, though type locality was indicated as ‘Borneo ( Sarawak)’ in Smith (1857). The worker for this species remains a mystery till present day. Donisthorpe (1932) concluded that the locality labels on the type male specimens were probably miswritten, since no males in the A.R. Wallace collections were associated with Sarawak, but two males linked to Singapore matched the original description of L. pompiloides [as Ponera pompiloides ].
