Primary type information:
Type-material: syntype workers (number not stated). Type-locality: Brazil: Cap Saint- Roque (M. Cameron). Type-depository: MHNG.
Type notes:Brown, 1964m: 214, points out that the Brazil locality is in error, and that the type-locality, on the specimen label as “C.S. Roque”, is most probably “San Roque, Spain, near Gibraltar”, which is within the normal range of Anochetus ghilianii.
