Foerster). 3) Other material from the same series as the neotype is in BMNH, SMNG. 4) According to Horn & Kahle, 1935: 78, Foerster’s formicid types are in MNHU, but Seifert, 1992b: 13, says Foerster’s ant material is “almost completely consumed by insect pests”; further, Seifert & Schultz, 2009b: 271, state that “According to our own search in German collections type material of Förster is completely destroyed”. |
