| Authorship | Wheeler, 1922e: 3 |
|---|---|
| Forms | w. |
| Bioregion | Neotropic |
| Locality | TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO (Trinidad) |
| Primary type information | Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Trinidad and Tobago: Trinidad, Caparo, 12.ii.1910 (P.B. Whelpley). Primary type depository: MCZC. |
| Type notes | 1) In the original description Wheeler, 1922e cites the type material as, “a single worker”. 2) Troya & Lattke, 2022: 42, mistakenly designated specimen MCZENT20454, deposited at MCZC, as a paralectotype without naming a lectotype. Moreover, the original description cites only one worker specimen, making any subsequent lectotype designation redundant. The specimen deposited at MCZC is likely the holotype. |
