Primary type information:
Type-material: holotype worker. Type-locality: Indonesia: Sumatra, Si Rambé (E. Modigliani). Type-depository: MSNG.
Type notes:
Emery also mentions (p. 679) a queen from “Borneo, Pulo Laut” (= Indonesia: Kalimantan, Laut I.) as perhaps also referable to this species. He does not obviously include it as type-material, and it is excluded here.
