Type notes:
In BMNH there is a single, damaged queen from Sri Lanka (= Ceylon) which appears to be one of the original type-series, labelled “Ceylon. 50/56.” In addition, BMNH has a single, headless, alate queen from Fiji, without further data, that is also most probably one of the original specimens.
