Smith, F., 1861, Catalogue of hymenopterous insects collected by Mr. A. R. Wallace in the Islands of Ceram, Celebes, Ternate, and Gilolo., Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London, Zoology 6, pp. 36-48 : 38

1. Polyrhachis hastatus

, Latr. Hist. Nat. Fourm. p. 129, pl. 4. fig. 23, [[ queen ]].

Hab. Celebes; India.

The specimen from Celebes has the metathoracic spines shorter than Indian specimens which I have seen, and those on the node of the peduncle are also rather shorter; however, in its opake blackness and in every other particular the insect is identical.
