Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Brazil: Prov. Moro-Gueimado (= Morro Queimado Mts, Rio de Janeiro) (no collector’s name). Primary type depository: unknown (perhaps MNHN). Type notes: 1) De Andrade & Baroni Urbani, 1999: 390, suspect that the holotype is lost. 2) According to Horn & Kahle, 1935: 99, Guérin’s Hymenoptera material was split between MNHN, MSNG, and ZSBS, but some are also present NNML.
