Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype queen. Primary type locality: Japan: Hokkaido, Nokkeuchi (no collector’s name; perhaps Teranishi). Primary type depository: unknown.
Type notes:
1) The holotype specimen was initially referred to as
Lasius umbratus by Teranishi, 1927 (reference not seen). 2) The type locality of
Lasius teranishii is exactly the same as
Lasius ouchii Teranishi, 1940; it is possible that the same queen specimen is responsible for both names.
