Monomorium indicum Forel, 1902 View in CoL

( Figs 1C View Fig. 1 , 4C View Fig. 4 ) 3 syntypes (☿): “ M. Salomonis r. [race] indicum ☿ Belgaum [=Belagavi, Karnataka, India] XXXI.12 (Wronghton)”. Although Forel (1902: 213) does not give any localities under indicum , he mentions “Belgaum” and the collector (Wronghton) under the species described above in the text (which is Monomorium dichroum Forel, 1902 ). Therefore it seems logical that M. indicum was collected at the same locality as M. dichroum , and therefore the locality on the label is the type locality, and that the present specimens belong to the syntype series.
