Primary type information:
Primary type material: 1 syntype worker, 2 syntype males. Primary type localities: 1 male Algeria: Algiers (no collector’s name), 1 worker, 1 male Spain: Mallorca (S. von Heyden). Primary type depository: MNLB.
Type notes:
1) Boer, 2013: 72, cites a worker and a male from the correct type locality of Mallorca, but refers to the worker as holotype. 2) The Algeria male syntype appears to be lost. 3) Cagniant, 1990a: 48, cites 30 worker, 4 queen, 30 male ‘plesiotypes’ (no type-status).
