Primary type information Primary type material: holotype (?) worker. Primary type locality: Cuba: (no further data). Primary type depository: unknown (possibly MNHU).
Type notes 1) No indication of number of specimens is given. 2) Shattuck, 1994: 95, does not cite any type material. 3) Cuezzo, 2000: 262, cites “Posibles sintipos: Cuba: Cojimar-Habana, 3.30-Aguayo – Gift de W.M. Wheeler. MCZ (3 obreras)”. It is extremely unlikely that these are genuine syntypes.
