Centromyrmex feae (Emery) ^HNS

Spalacomyrmex feae Emery ^HNS, 1889: 491 (worker). [Combination in Centromyrmex ^HNS by Emery, 1890b: 40 (footnote). Description of queen and male: Forel, 1900: 303; further description of male: Wheeler, 1936: 207. Senior synonym of Centromyrmex donisthorpei Menozzi ^HNS, 1925: 443 (queen): synonymy by Brown, 1955: 103.]

Centromyrmex feae subsp. ceylonicus Forel ^HNS, 1900: 303 (worker and male).

Centromyrmex feae subsp. greeni Forel ^HNS, 1901: 325 (worker). [Originally described as C. greeni ^HNS; reduced to subspecies of feae ^HNS by Emery, 1911: 58.]

This is the nominal species of the mostly Afrotropical C. feae ^HNS group, the diagnosis and discussion of which is given above. It is suspected that a close analysis offeae and its subspecies will reveal more than one real species concealed under this name.
