Type notes:
The lectotype worker and 8 paralectotype workers designated by Sharaf et al., 2015: 110, are redundant. The lectotype (and paralectotypes) chosen (in NHMB) were from Saudi Arabia: Jeddah, 7.v.1978 (W. Büttiker), which do not come from the original type series where the only Jeddah material mentioned is dated 19.ii.1978.
- Lectotype designation: Sharaf et al., 2015: 110 (redundant).
- Status as species: Collingwood et al., 2011: 454; Borowiec, 2014: 55; Sharaf et al., 2015: 110 (redescription).
