Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype male. Primary type locality: Canada: (no further data) (
L. Provancher). Primary type depository:
LUQC.
Type notes:
1) The holotype was misprinted with a queen symbol in the original description, but was actually a male (
Provancher, 1887: 240, 241). 2) Lectotype designation of a worker by
Gahan & Rohwer, 1917a: 306, is set aside as no worker was represented in the original description. 3) Lectotype male designation by
Francoeur & Béique, 1966a: 141, appears unnecessary as
Provancher, 1881a initially described only a single specimen. 4) Type locality was probably Québec, Cap Rouge (
Provancher, 1887: 241).
