(Santschi)
Type location Congo
(Prenolepis (Nylanderia) Weissi n. sp , Santschi,
1911g: 210, worker) collected at Brazzaville, by Weiss; worker only
described (see Bolton, 1995) .

(1911g) description is at .

The
photomontage of the type worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0912314.

Given the availability of workers from Liberia, I
have raised the former subspecies Paratrechina
nimba to species status. Bernard's (1952) note,
with description of nimba is at .
I am ignoring the
synoynmy under P. jaegerskioeldi by LaPolla,
Hawkes & Fisher (2011) as I believe it to be undemonstrated and
because that
they did not examine the type specimen.
