Tetramorium notiale Bolton (Arnold)

Type location Zimbabwe (Tetramorium guineense ssp striatum, Arnold, 1917: 308, all forms - appears as a translation of T. guineense r striatum attributed to Stitz, 1910: 144 but that is a short description of T. guineense v cristatum, Arnold's description, see below, is quite long and detailed, comparing the ants to the guineensis var phasias (see lower); raised to species, with replacement name by Bolton, 1980)
all forms described .

Note: With the availability of type images now (April 2015) this, or at least the Bolton "lectotype", appears to be identical to the prior published Tetramorium cristatum, if so this is a junior synonym.

Arnold's (1917) description is at . Santschi's (1937d) description of ebangense included an illustration of the striatum/notiale pedicel, the original is at .

Bolton's modern description (1980) is at .
