Primary type information:
Primary type material: syntype major and minor workers (numbers not stated). Primary type locality: Madagascar: (no further data) (
A. Grandidier). Primary type depository: probably
MHNG.
Type notes:
1) The designation by
Rakotonirina & Fisher, 2022: 140, consisting of lectotype minor worker, 2 paralectotype major workers, 1 paralectotype minor worker, 1 paralectotype queen, 2 paralectotype males, Madagascar: Fianarantsoa (
L. Besson), is redundant as this locality and collector do not appear in the original description. 2) The Besson specimens apparently derive from
Forel, 1891c: 59.
