Topic: Linepithema iniquum

Linepithema iniquinum exists in the dictionary, but seems to be in error. The correct name is Linepithema iniquum.

Although there are no records on the Atlas, there is an established population in the tropical house at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales and it was recorded at Glasgow Botanic Garden in 2010.

I'd post links to reference my assertions, but I can't!

Re: Linepithema iniquum

Thanks for that - I have added the correct name and sunk the old one. The old name seems to have come from BWARS a long time ago so it might have been a typo but I have kept it just in case. :)
