Acanthoponera (Anacanthoponera) brouni Forel HNS
Acanthoponera HNS brownii Forel, Mitteil. Schweiz. Ent. Zeitschr. 8, 1892, p. 330 [worker]; Emery, Gen. Insect. Ponerinae HNS 1911, p. 36 [worker].
Acanthoponera brounii Forel HNS , Trans. New Zealand Inst. 37, 1904, p. 353 [worker]. This species was described from specimens taken by Major Thos. Broun at Drury, near Auckland, New Zealand. Forel originally spelled the gentleman's name "Brown" and named the species "brownii" but corrected the error in 1904. Emery in the "Genera Insectorum" questions the advisability of this procedure. I can only record my conviction that such obvious taxonomic blunders should be corrected and not propagated indefinitely in the literature in a spirit of silly pedantry.
