Monomorium brasiliense Forel ^HNS

Monomorium minutum subsp. brasiliense Forel ^HNS, 1908: 361 (w).

Monomorium monomorium subsp. brasiliense ^HNS: Brandao, 1991: 357.

Monomorium brasiliense ^HNS: Bolton, 1995: 260.

Bolton (1987) did not study the type of this species, nor the possibly corresponding native Monomorium ^HNS material. The Monomorium ^HNS native to South America are moderate to large in size; M. inusuale ^HNS and M. delabiei ^HNS are small but with HW greater than 0.60 mm. There is a possibility that M. brasiliense ^HNS might in fact be a tramp species, erroneously described by Forel as a different (subspecific) taxon.
