Primary type information:
Primary type material: syntype workers (number not stated, “several”), 1 syntype queen. Primary type locality: Honduras: Progresso, ii-iii.1920 (
W.M. Mann). Primary type depositories:
MCZC,
USNM. Primary type specimens: Cat. 24455.
Type notes:
Brown & Kempf, 1969, in their
Acanthognathus revision, indicate that they examined only a few workers of the type series from
MCZC and
USNM. However, they cite syntypes at
MCZC,
USNM and
WWK. The
WWK collection is at
MZSP, and the
MZSP Ant Collection has no types of
Acanthognathus lentus. They probably agreed to send
Acanthognathus lentus syntypes to
WWK, but such donation may never have been finalized. (Mônica Antunes Ulysséa)
