Primary type information:
Primary type material: syntype major and minor workers, syntype queen(s) (numbers not stated). Primary type localities: Paraguay: (no further data) (A. Borelli) (invalid restriction of type locality by Kempf, 1972b: 62; no lectotype designated), Bolivia: (no further data) (A. Borelli), Brazil: Mato Grosso (A. Borelli). Primary type depositories: MHNG, MSNG.
Type notes:Emery, 1894f: 3, says only that the specimens were “collected in various localities”, but Hashmi, 1973b: 67, adds the Paraguay type locality as San Bernardino, presumably from a syntype label.
