Technomyrmex horni Forel 1912 View in CoL

Material examined. None available.

Material not physically examined. CASENT0249786, PSW10256-3 ( PSWC, Davis).

Literature. Bolton (2007).

Localities. Bukit Timah

Habitat/Ecology. Specimen from Bukit Timah indicated to be from rainforest - possibly the specific location should be Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

Remarks. This species and T. schimmeri are currently the only members of a complex with indistinct inter-species boundaries ( Bolton 2007). The two species are almost indistinguishable morphologically, taking into account the morphological variability among different populations per species. Should more material and other forms of evidence, such as DNA, be made available for analyses in future, this treatment may be revised.
