Protonym: Cryptocerus scutulatus
Authorship Smith, 1867: 524, pl. 26, fig. 3
Forms s.
Bioregion Neotropic
Locality MEXICO
Primary type information Primary type material: holotype soldier. Primary type locality: Mexico: (no further data) (“in the collection of W. Wilson Saunders”). Primary type depository: OXUM.
Type notes De Andrade & Baroni Urbani, 1999: 410, report “two possible syntypes (almost certainly from the same series)” in NHMW; but Smith’s statement that type-material is in the Saunders collection (OXUM) renders this very improbable.
