Primary type information:
Primary type specimen: holotype worker. Primary type locality: U.S.A.: New Jersey, Monmouth County, Raritan Bay, Cliffwood Beach (
Mr and Mrs Edmund Frey); amber in clay. Primary type depository: collection of Mr and Mrs Frey, Mountainside, New Jersey.
Secondary type information:
Secondary type specimen: 1 paratype worker. Secondary type locality: same as for holotype (in same piece of amber). Secondary type depository: collection of Mr and Mrs Frey, Mountainside, New Jersey.
Type notes:
The designation of a neotype by
Grimaldi et al., 1997: 12, appears to be redundant as
Wilson et al., 1967: 8, 9, describe a paratype worker, which should have become the lectotype following the destruction of the original holotype.
