Primary type information:
Type-material: holotype (?) worker. Type-locality: Virgin Is: St Thomas I. (Eggers). Type-depository: MSNG.
Type notes:
1) No indication of number of specimens is given. 2) Kugler, 1994: 71, records the holotype in MHNG; a unique holotype is more likely to be in MSNG, which suggests the type-series may be more than 1 specimen.
[Note: previously referred to as Tetramorium foreli Emery, by Forel, 1893j: 383. Nomen nudum.]
