| Primary type information | Primary type material: syntype major and minor workers (numbers not stated, “several”). Primary type locality: Australia: Western Australia, Perth, Kings Park (no collector’s name; perhaps L. Glauert). Primary type depository: MCZC. | 
| Type notes | 1) Other locality mentioned: Western Australia, Rottnest I., xii.1931 (L. Glauert). 2) Heterick et al., 2017: 293, include both localities, but Wheeler, 1934d: 153, cited Kings Park as the type locality, hence Rottnest specimens are not type material. |
