Sericomyrmex moreirai Santschi, 1925b: 16 (w.q.m.) BRAZIL (Rio de Janeiro). Neotropic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: syntype workers (number not stated), 4 syntype queens, 4 syntype males. Primary type locality: Brazil: Rio de Janeiro (C. Moreira). Primary type depositories: MCZC, NHMB, MZSP. Type notes: Kligenberg & Brandão (2005) informed syntype workers of Sericomyrmex moreirai (Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Werneck col., iii.1923, Coll. Borgmeier 4203) at MZSP, but the collector of these specimens differs from the syntype series. However, MZSP houses 1W (Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Moreira col., Coll. Borgmeier 3803, MZSP0090568) which label data matches with the type of S. moreirai.
