Pheidole fallax Mayr ^HNS 1870b.

Literature records: Pte. Hayes, “Paraguay” (s. loc.) (Fowler 1981, Kempf 1972).

Pheidole fallax ^HNS is a Central American/Caribbean species highly unlikely to be conspecific with southern South American forms; Wilson (2003) gives distribution. Records probably refer to P. jelskii ^HNS or P. obscurithorax ^HNS.
