Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Oman: Jebel Qara, 18.x.1984 (J. Darlington). Primary type depository: unknown (perhaps WMLC). 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.
