Seifert, 2005: 4). Primary type locality: lectotype France: Pyrénées-Occidentales, Irun, 25-26.iii.1926 (
H. & H. Lindberg). Primary type depository:
NHMB.
Secondary type information:
Secondary type material: 2 paralectotype workers. Secondary type locality: same as for lectotype. Secondary type depository:
NHMB.
Type notes:
1) Lectotype was labelled by Radchenko & Elmes, 2002, but this designation was not published. 2)
Santschi, 1931a: 3, based this taxon on
Myrmica wesmaeli Bondroit, 1918,
sensu Finzi, 1926: 97, misidentification. 3) Type material should therefore be the Finzi material, not that of Lindberg quoted above. 4) Lindberg specimens were first cited as type material by
Santschi, 1931c: 346.
