Type notes 1) Boudinot et al., 2016: 60, inadvertently use the queen symbol for the lectotype; Forel mentions only workers in both key and description. Other original syntype workers are from Dharamshala (Fulton), and Belgaum (Wroughton). 2) Boudinot et al., 2016: 60, overlooked the fact that Brown, 1975: 52, had selected Belgaum as the type-locality.
