Solenopsis xyloni McCook, 1880 valid

Solenopsis xyloni McCook, 1880: 188, figs. 37, 38 (s.w.q.) U.S.A. (Louisiana). Nearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: syntype workers (number not stated), 1 syntype queen. Primary type locality: U.S.A.: Louisiana (no collector’s name; perhaps J.H. Comstock). Primary type depository: no types known to exist (Creighton, 1950a: 232). Type notes: McCook was based in Philadelphia, so ANSP is a possible depository.
