Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Oman: Wahiba Sands, 18.xii.1989 (
M.D. Gallagher). Primary type depository: unknown (perhaps
NHMB,
ONHM (if Gallagher material retained there),
WMLC).
Secondary type information:
Secondary type material: 4 paratype workers. Secondary type locality: same as for holotype. Secondary type depository: unknown (perhaps
NHMB,
ONHM (if Gallagher material retained there),
WMLC).
Type notes:
Collingwood & Agosti, 1996: 301, say “All type material is housed in
NHMB and duplicates placed in appropriate institutes and museums of the contributing countries”; this apparently was never done.
