| Authorship | Smith, 1865a: 74 |
|---|---|
| Forms | w. |
| Bioregion | Australasia |
| Locality | NEW GUINEA |
| Primary type information | Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: New Guinea: (no further data), “S.” (A.R. Wallace). Primary type depository: OXUM. |
| Type notes | 1) Donisthorpe, 1932c: 473, cites 1 worker in OXUM; confirmed by Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978. 2) The holotype worker is labelled “S.” (Donisthorpe, 1932c: 473), the usual abbreviation for the Salawati Is. Smith, 1865a gives the type locality as New Guinea (= “N.”) in the text. However, the specimen matches the original description, so a mislabelling or a later switch of labels is suspected (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978). |
