Polyrhachis (Myrma) carbonaria Smith, 1857 View in CoL

Material examined. None available.

Material not physically examined. CASENT0919849, ANTC42479 ( CASC).

Literature. None. New record.

Localities. Bukit Timah (alt. 100 ft.; possibly Bukit Timah Hill)

Habitat/Ecology. Unknown in the Singapore context – exact information unavailable from original label of unexamined material. However, it may be inferred that the ant was found in either mature secondary or primary forest,

since it was possibly collected from Bukit Timah Hill, which is an established nature reserve with both forest types.

Remarks. At the time of writing, the only record of this species is that of a single worker from Bukit Timah collected in 1962 by E.S. Ross and D.Q. Cavagnaro, species identity determined by the late Rudy Kohout.
