Leptothorax galeatus Wheeler, 1927e: 1 (w.) CHINA (Beijing). Palearctic.

Primary type information: Type-material: holotype worker. Type-locality: China: Tsinghua (N.G. Gee). Type-depository: MCZC. Type notes: Radchenko, 2004: 128, points out that Wheeler cited only one specimen (from Tsinghua); thus a “lectotype” in MCZC, labelled by A. Schulz, 1997, is incorrect and carries the wrong data (namely “Peking (P.H. Lefivre)”. There is also no evidence that this “lectotype” was ever published.
