Pseudoneoponera havilandi (Forel, 1901) View in CoL
Material examined. None available.
Material not physically examined. Syntype – CASENT0907253, ANTC27462 ( MHNG) .
Literature. Type – Forel (1901) [as Pachycondyla (Bothroponera) havilandi ].
Localities. Unknown.
Habitat/Ecology. Unknown in the Singapore context.
Remarks. Type locality in Singapore. At the time of writing, the species is known only from Singapore, by its type series. While there has been no recent material for objective comparisons, based on type images of P. havilandi on AntWeb and its original description, the validity of the species seems well-justified. The more striking characters that distinguish P. havilandi from other congeners known to the region would be: 1) small eyes, each with only 9-10 ommatidia along its maximum diameter, 2) petiolar node in dorsal view 1.3- 1.5x wider than long, truncate with convex sides and slightly concave posterior margin.
