Type notes |
1) Donisthorpe, 1932c: 469, cites 1 queen in OXUM. 2) Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978, cites 2 worker, 1 queen syntypes (1w BMNH, 1w, 1q OXUM (on a single card)); the OXUM specimens have a Donisthorpe type label and the BMNH specimen has a Donisthorpe “compared with type” label. However, when the writing on the underside of the stage cards is consulted, it becomes obvious that all three were originally mounted together and that the card has been divided at a later date. The underside of the stage card of the BMNH specimen has, “P”, plus part of a letter “D,” and “Ceram.” The OXUM card has “Dolomedes” (with part of the “D” missing). The two cards fit together perfectly to read, “P, Dolomedes. Ceram” (= Seram I.) (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978), quoted by Kohout, 2012a: 35). |
