Myrmoteras (Myagroteras) williamsi Wheeler, 1919

( Figs. 11–12 )

Material examined. – 2 gynes and 1 male from Luzon, Laguna, Mt. Makiling , 13–18 November 1992 (label see Fig. 12 ) (in the first author’s collection) .

Notes. – Although Moffett (1985) describes workers from Negros, only sexuals (gynes and males) from Central Luzon belong to M. williamsi without doubt. At the Discover Life website, Alpert et al. (2010) present another record from Camarines Sur in southern Luzon; however, this record should be reconfirmed, since the first author studied males from the same province which did not fully agree with the M. williamsi -male from the type locality. See comparative notes of M. mcarthuri .
