Hey

Can we move this to a new page (titled Veromessor pergandei)? Now it's exclusively (or 99%) referred to by that name, and Messor pergandei is an "inactive taxon". Cerambycidfreak (talk) 23:03, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

A 2013 source says "Messor was first described as a subgenus of Aphaenogaster based on the Old World species Messor barbarus (FOREL 1890). It was later transferred to a subgenus of Stenamma (EMERY 1895) before it was raised to generic status by BINGHAM (1903). FOREL (1917) later transferred all New World species of Messor to the new subgenus Veromessor. WHEELER (1922) raised Veromessor to generic status, but it was later placed as a junior synonym of Messor (BOLTON 1982), where it currently stands." - I see that antwiki treats it in Veromessor. Sorry, not familiar with the current phylogeny. Shyamal (talk) 08:31, 19 February 2022 (UTC) @Dyanega:

You are right - there is a change - see WARD, P. S., BRADY, S. G., FISHER, B. L., & SCHULTZ, T. R. (2014). The evolution of myrmicine ants: phylogeny and biogeography of a hyperdiverse ant clade (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Systematic Entomology, 40(1), 61–81. doi:10.1111/syen.12090
