Comments. Wilson (2003) surmised that P. scalaris could be a synonym of P. transversostriata . The two were separated by minor differences in sculpture on the minor worker and head shape of the major worker. So far there is no evidence of sympatry of separate forms. The distinctive major workers identify a widespread clade, and at this stage there is little value in using separate names for local variants.
