Primary type information:
Primary type material: lectotype worker (by designation of
Ward, 1993: 150). Primary type locality: lectotype Panama: Canal Zone, nr Red Tank, along Chivachiva Trail (
W.M. Wheeler). Primary type depository:
MCZC.
Secondary type information:
Secondary type material: paralectotype workers, paralectotype queens, paralectotype males (numbers not stated). Secondary type locality: same as for lectotype. Secondary type depositories:
AMNH,
MCZC.
Type notes:
1) The type locality was earlier restricted to Panama: Canal Zone, Las Cascades by
Wheeler, 1942: 181. 2) As well as Chivachiva Trail, Red Tank,
Ward, 1993: 150, also includes Venado, and Las Sabanas as syntype localities; Venado is mentioned in the original description but Las Sabanas is not. 3) A locality mentioned by Wheeler, Pueblo Nuevo, is omitted by Ward. It is arguable that only material from Las Cascades (the originally stated type locality) should constitute the type series.
