[2] Anochetus rugosus ^HNS Brown (1964)

showed that Anochetus jacobsoni Menozzi ^HNS (preoccupied by A. jacobsoni Forel ^HNS = princeps ^HNS) is a subjective synonym of A. rugosus F. Smith ^HNS. Donisthorpe already had needlessly proposed a new name, A. menozzii ^HNS, for the homonym, and Baroni Urbani did it again in 1971 when he published the replacement name A. ineditus ^HNS. The summary synonym of this distinctive species is thus: Anochetus rugosus (F. Smith) 1857 ^HNS (not 1858)

= A. beccarii Emery 1884 ^HNS = A. jacobsoni Menozzi 1939 ^HNS, not Forel 1911 = A. menozzii Donisthorpe 1941 ^HNS = A. ineditus Baroni Urbani 1971 ^HNS.

I took this species in lowland rain forest about 21 km west of Batulitjin, southeastern Kalimantan (Borneo). The nest was a small one, consisting of a dealate queen, 5 or 6 workers, and meager brood under the loose bark of a tall rotten stump from which were growing mosses, liverworts and other small plants.
