Pheidole insipida View in CoL

Pheidole kingi r. insipida Forel, 1899: 76 View in CoL . Lectotype major worker (here designated): Mexico, Veracruz: Cordoba (Salle) [ BMNH, unique specimen identifier CASENT0901556] (AntWeb image examined) . Syntype minor worker from Guerrero not conspecific .

Pheidole insipida: Kempf, 1972: 195 View in CoL (raised to species).

Pheidole mooreorum Wilson, 2003: 209 View Cited Treatment , figs. Holotype major worker and associated paratype minor worker: Mexico, Veracruz, Los Tuxtlas   GoogleMaps , 10km NNW Sontecomapan, 18°35'N 95°05'W, 200m, 20 Mar 1985, ground foragers, rainforest (P. S.

Pheidole fariasana Wilson, 2003: 155 View Cited Treatment , figs. Holotype major worker and associated paratype minor worker: Mexico, Tamaulipas, 1mi E Gomez Farias, 1400', 23 Dec 1972, deciduous tropical forest, nesting in ground under stone (R. J. Hamton, A. B. Hamton, B. S. Ikeda) [MCZC] (examined). New synonym. Synonymized under P. mooreorum by Longino, 2009: 56.

Comments. Pheidole insipida was overlooked in Wilson's 2003 revision. AntWeb images of the major worker match the common, widespread species that heretofore was identified as P. mooreorum . I have collected material of this species 50 km north of the type locality, and from the nearby type locality of P. mooreorum . This material closely matches the images of the type.
