Formica gnava Buckley, 1866 valid
Formica gnava Buckley, 1866: 156 (w.q.m.) U.S.A. (Texas). Nearctic.
Primary type information: Primary type material: syntype workers, syntype queens, syntype males (numbers not stated). Primary type localities: U.S.A.: Texas (S.B. Buckley) (invalid restriction of type locality by; Wheeler, 1913i: 519; no lectotype designated), U.S.A.: District of Columbia, Washington (S.B. Buckley), U.S.A.: New York, Naples (S.B. Buckley), U.S.A.: Connecticut (E. Norton). Primary type depository: unknown (no material known to exist) (Creighton, 1950a: 539). Type notes: 1) The neotype designation by Francoeur, 1973: 238, is redundant because of multiple inclusions, he says: “specimens collected by Wheeler at Austin, Travis Co., on different dates, are chosen as neotypes”. 2) Francoeur, 1975: 263, later adds 18 workers, 3 queens (MHNG, MSNG) from Austin as ‘neoparatypes’.
