Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype major worker. Primary type locality: Madagascar: Nossi-Bé (no collector’s name). Primary type depository: MNHN.
Type notes:
Lectotype + 1 paralectotype designation by Rasoamanana & Fisher, 2022: 190 (MNHN, MHNG), is redundant because André, 1887 states that he had only “a single example”.
