Rakotonirina & Fisher, 2018: 19). Primary type locality: lectotype Madagascar: “Centre and south of centre of Madagascar” (no further data) [Ambatomanjaka, Miarinarivo, -18.766947, 46.869107, 1344 m] (
J.M. Hildebrandt). Primary type depository:
MHNG. Primary type specimen:
CASENT0101544 (lectotype).
Secondary type information:
Secondary type material: 1 paralectotype minor worker. Secondary type locality: same data as lectotype but collected by (
P. Camboué). Secondary type depository:
MNHN (redundant paralectotype). Secondary type specimen:

Type notes:
1) The original description only cites material collected by Hildebrandt, and the only depository cited is
MNHU. 2) The Camboué material originates in
Forel, 1891c: 63, therefore the paralectotype designation is redundant.
