| Forms | q. |
| Bioregion | Indomalaya |
| Locality | TAIWAN |
| Primary type information | Primary type material: syntype queens (number not stated). Primary type locality: Taiwan (“Formosa”): Banshoryo Dist., Sokutsu (H. Sauter). Primary type depository: MHNG (perhaps also DEIB). |
| Type notes | Taylor & Alpert, 2016: 516, refer to a holotype (MHNG), but in the original description Forel implies more than one specimen by saying “Longueur: 10.2-10.8 mm.” In his second description of the same material Forel, 1913g: 189, records the lengths as “10.5-11.1 mm.” Therefore at least one other type specimen exists, perhaps in Sauter’s collection in DEIB. |
