Acanthognathus lentus Mann, 1922 valid

Acanthognathus lentus Mann, 1922: 34, fig. 16 (w.q.) HONDURAS. Neotropic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: syntype workers (number not stated, “several”), 1 syntype queen. Primary type locality: Honduras: Progresso, ii-iii.1920 (W.M. Mann). Primary type depository: USNM. Primary type specimens: Cat. 24455. Type notes: Brown & Kempf (1969), in their Acanthognathus revision, indicate they examined only a few workers of the type series from MCZC and USNM. However, they inform syntypes at MCZC, USNM and WWK. The WWK Collection is at MZSP, and the MZSP Ant Collection has no types of A. lentus. They probably agreed to send A. lentus syntypes to WWK, but such donation may never have been finalized.

Status as species: Smith, 1944c: 150 (in key); Brown & Kempf, 1969: 95 (redescription); Kempf, 1972b: 9; Kempf, 1975a: 412; Brandão, 1991: 322; Bolton, 1995b: 53; Bolton, 2000: 16; Galvis & Fernández, 2009: 249 (in key); Sosa-Calvo et al., 2010: 39 (in key).
