Taxacom: Taxacom Digest, Vol 218, Issue 5

[Ziv Lieberman]

Hi Mary,
Yes. *Tetraponera continua* was described as *Sima penzigi **continua *by
Forel, 1907, combined as *Sima (Tetraponera*) *continua* by Emery, 1921,
then as *Tetraponera continua* Wheeler, 1922. It was subsumed back as a
subspecies of *T. penzi*gi and treated that way until it was re-raised to
species by Chomici et al., 2015.
More details and the relevant literature are available at
