Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Oman: Jabal Shams, 1.x.1990 (M.D. Gallagher). Type depository: unknown (perhaps NHMB, WMLC, perhaps also ONHM if Gallagher material is retained there).
Secondary type information:
Secondary type material: 4 paratype workers. Secondary type locality: same as for holotype. Type depository: unknown (perhaps NHMB, WMLC, perhaps also ONHM if Gallagher material is retained there).
Type notes:Collingwood & Agosti, 1996: 301, say “All type material is housed in NHMB and duplicates placed in appropriate institutes and museums of the contributing countries”; this apparently was never done.
