Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype (?) worker. Primary type locality: none given (“In saccharo detecta”). Primary type depository: unknown (“In Mus. D.C.C. Babington”; perhaps OXUM).
Type notes:
1) No indication of number of specimens is given. 2) Smith, 1858a: 111, has “Hab. West India Islands?”, which is unlikely.
