Gender congruence: Chelaner antarcticus is correct.

The existing "Chelaner antarcticum" is clearly a remnant of when Chelaner was considered a subgenus of Monomorium and the correct gender congruence at that time was Monomorium (Chelaner) antarcticum.

iNat is not the place to be making unpublished emendations to published scientific names! AntWiki is unpublished according to the ICZN.

The correction of gender agreement is a mandatory change and the Code does not require such a change to be an emendation published in the restricted sense of the Code.

The checklist of Chelaner in https://doi.org/10.1071/IS16080 is grammatically rotten to the core. The older checklist to the species of Chelaner in http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/ZO9660073 is to be preferred. In the latter checklist the gender congruence of Chelaner antarcticus is correct. It is hence not newly "published" by my correction above.

Well, it isn't a big deal, but there are potential complications
