Primary type information:
Primary type material: lectotype worker (by designation of
Bolton & Fisher, 2011: 81). Primary type locality: lectotype Eritrea: Ghinda, ix.1914 (
F. Silvestri). Primary type depository:
MSNG. Primary type specimen:
CASENT0903908 (lectotype).
Secondary type information:
Secondary type material: 1 paralectotype worker. Secondary type locality: same as for lectotype. Secondary type depositories:
MSNG,
NHMB (perhaps also
DEUN).
Type notes:
The original description cites 6 worker syntypes; 1 in
NHMB (
Baroni Urbani, 1973b: 136), 2 in
MSNG; the three not accounted for are presumably in the Silvestri collection in
DEUN, and should also be regarded as paralectotypes (
Bolton & Fisher, 2011: 81).
