Taxonomic history
Subspecies of Monomorium monomorium: Brandão, 1991 PDF: 357.Raised to species: Bolton, 1995b: 260.Monomorium minutum subsp. brasiliense Forel , 1908: 361 (w).
Monomorium monomorium subsp. brasiliense : Brandao, 1991: 357.
Monomorium brasiliense : Bolton, 1995: 260.
Bolton (1987) did not study the type of this species, nor the possibly corresponding native Monomorium material. The Monomorium native to South America are moderate to large in size; M. inusuale and M. delabiei are small but with HW greater than 0.60 mm. There is a possibility that M. brasiliense might in fact be a tramp species, erroneously described by Forel as a different (subspecific) taxon.
Monomorium brasiliense is een mierensoort uit de onderfamilie van de Myrmicinae.[1][2] De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1908 door Forel.
