Primary type information:
Primary type material: syntype workers (number not stated), 1 syntype queen, 1 syntype male. Primary type localities: Canada: Québec, Cap Rouge (L. Provancher), Canada: Ontario, Ottawa (no collector’s name; perhaps L. Provancher). Primary type depository: unknown (perhaps
LUQC).
Type notes:
1)
LUQC is suggested by
Creighton, 1950a: 276. Before Creighton. 2) Earlier,
Gahan & Rohwer, 1917a: 433, had said of
Leptothorax canadensis “Type-Not located”. 3)
Francoeur & Béique, 1966a: 142, apparently record 3 syntypes but fail to note the depository. The reference they give (
Gahan & Rohwer, 1918a: 103) does not mention
Leptothorax, but they do say that specimens in the Collège de Lévis are not syntypes of
Leptothorax canadensis.
