Monomorium dichroum Forel, 1902: 212. Syntype workers: Poona, India (Wroughton) (BMNH, CASENT0902222) [examined]; Bombay, India (Wroughton) (MHNG, CASENT0908718) [examined] syn. nov.

Distribution.

All records of M. sahlbergi originate from desert-like, urban, industrial, and military areas ranging from sea level to an elevation of 1800 m. It is not clear from our research what the original geographic region of M. sahlbergi was. Based on the distribution of other species in the salomonis group, the native distribution would include specimens from the Indomalaya region (Nepal, India, Thailand). Our data came from the following main geographic regions: Palearctic (China, Israel, Netherlands (interception)), Australian (New Zealand, from likely interceptions), Nearctic (USA, in part interceptions), Neotropical (Panama, Galapagos), Afrotropical (Reunion, Madagascar) and Oceania (Hawaii) (Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ).
