Primary type information:
Type-material: 2 syntype workers. Type-locality: Sri Lanka (“Ceylon”): (no further data) (F. Walker). Type-depository: BMNH.
Type notes:
The two specimens that Walker describes as major and minor workers belong in different genera. The ‘minor worker’ is a Pheidole species (a specimen of Pheidole sharpi according to Donisthorpe, 1932b: 576); the ‘major worker’ belongs in Dilobocondyla. This taxonomic conundrum may be best resolved by regarding the ‘major worker’ as the lectotype, and excluding the ‘minor worker’ from further consideration.
