Protonym: Acanthognathus lentus
Authorship Mann, 1922: 34, fig. 16
Forms w.q.
Bioregion Neotropic
Locality HONDURAS
Primary type information Primary type material: syntype workers (number not stated, “several”), 1 syntype queen. Primary type locality: Honduras: Progresso, ii-iii.1920 (W.M. Mann). Primary type depository: USNM. Primary type specimens: Cat. 24455.
Type notes Brown & Kempf (1969), in their Acanthognathus revision, indicate they examined only a few workers of the type series from MCZC and USNM. However, they inform syntypes at MCZC, USNM and WWK. The WWK Collection is at MZSP, and the MZSP Ant Collection has no types of A. lentus. They probably agreed to send A. lentus syntypes to WWK, but such donation may never have been finalized.
