Primary type information:
Primary type material: 2 syntype workers. Primary type localities: 1 worker Uruguay: Nueva Helvetia (
E. von Steiger), 1 worker Brazil: “Bolivian frontier” (
A. Reichensperger). Primary type depository:
NHMB.
Type notes:
1)
MacKay & MacKay, 2010: 527, cite 4 worker syntypes ('cotypes') in
NHMB, but the original description specifically states one worker from each locality. 2)
Baroni Urbani, 1973b: 134, cites only a single specimen in
NHMB, as 'holotype'.
