Primary type information:
Type-material: holotype (?) worker. Type-locality: Namibia (“Südafrika”): Swakop River (no collector’s name). Type-depository: NHMW.
Type notes:
1) No indication of number of specimens is given. 2) This taxon is based on the single (?) worker of Carebara hostilisSmith, 1858a, sensuMayr, 1866b: 899, misidentification. In the original entry Santschi, 1928f: 201, refers to Mayr, 1862, but Carebara hostilisSmith, 1858a does not occur in that publication.
