Taxacom: Ant taxonomists: help please

[Stephen Thorpe]

 I have only read the abstract, but it looks as though T. continua is currently treated as a valid species, distinct from T. penzigi.See:?https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.11646%2Fzootaxa.5102.1.1&data%7C02%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cde8d238cfa444eaa928408dc87331262%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638533900614291238%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdataK5zmSUZklHaoKuJH2tckaDnMTFYpwkqEss9hmwi4Hk%3D&reserved=0

 Are Tetraponera continua and T. penzigi continua synonyms? Both are listed with (Forel, 1907) as the author citation - Catalogue of life accepts the subspecies version but does not list synonyms.
I am trying to ensure that all names of insects known to GBIF from the core of the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Somaliland, Somali Region of Ethiopia, and Somalia) are in OpenZooMuseum - hence my interest.
