Comment: (1) The MZSP ant collection has three specimens (1M 1S 1W) from BRAZIL, São Paulo, Santo André, Alto da Serra[Paranapiacaba], 1907, H. Lüderwaldt leg., MP #10.539, Coll. Borgm. #2044, labeled as syntypes of Pheidole guilelmimuelleri subsp. heyeri var. injuncta Forel, 1911: 302 . However, we do not consider them as types since Bolton (1995: 323) registered this as unavailable name. (2) The collection also have three specimens (1S 2W) from BRAZIL, São Paulo, Campo Limpo, 20.ii.1966, W.W. Kempf leg., Coll. Kempf #4383, 26, 26 pr., labeled as syntypes of Pheidole descolei Kusnezov, 1952b: 76 View in CoL by E.O. Wilson. This author also says that the types of P. descolei View in CoL are deposited in MZSP ( Wilson, 2003), but according to the original publication ( Kusnezov, 1952b) the type locality is Salta, Argentina. Thus we do not consider these specimens as types.
