Turneria frenchi Forel, 1911 | |
Turneria frenchi is a species of ant in the genus Turneria. Described by Forel in 1911, it is endemic to Australia, but original specimens of the ant have been lost, and its placement in a genus has been in question. The ant has been transferred various times, notably being transferred to Stigmacros in 1990 but then put back into Turneria in 1992.[1][2][3]
