Secondary type material: 15 paratype workers. Secondary type locality: same as for holotype. Secondary type depositories: RASM, ZMUM.
Type notes:Arnol'di, 1968b also mentions workers from Georgia: Shiraki (T.I. Zhizhilashvili), and 10 workers from Azerbaijan: Alpout (G.M. Dlussky); it is not obvious if these should also be regarded as paratypes.
