Mycetomoellerius urichii fusca

Mycetomoellerius urichii fusca (Emery, 1894) junior synonym of current valid taxon Mycetomoellerius urichii (Forel, 1893)

Atta (Trachymyrmex) urichi subsp. fusca Emery, 1894d: 222 (w.) BRAZIL (Mato Grosso). Neotropic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: 2 syntype workers. Primary type locality: Brazil: Mato Grosso (no collector’s name). Primary type depository: MSNG. Type notes: Weber, 1958b: 53, says that the 2 syntypes (on one pin) have the locality “Coxipò; 1x.900 (Mato Grosso)”. But if the date on the label is correctly interpreted as 1.x.1900 these are too late to be type material.
