Sphecomyrma freyi Wilson & Brown, 1967 valid
Sphecomyrma freyi Wilson & Brown, 1967: 8, pls. 1-4, figs. 1, 2 (w.) U.S.A. (New Jersey, New Jersey amber, Cretaceous).
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.
