Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype (?) worker. Primary type locality: Brazil: Minas Gerais (“dans la province des Mines”) (Voyage La Coquille) (no collector’s name). Primary type depository: probably
MNHN.
Type notes:
1) No indication of number of specimens is given but probably just one as
Guérin-Méneville, 1838 says “Individu neutre”. 2)
Dias & Lattke, 2021: 22, imply that a lectotype was designated by
Diller, 1990: 70, but this designation refers only to
Dinoponera gigantea Perty, 1833, not to
Dinoponera grandis Guérin-Méneville, 1838. 3) According to
Horn & Kahle, 1935: 99, Guérin’s Hymenoptera material was split between
MNHN,
MSNG, and
ZSBS, but some are also present in
NNML.
