T. Borgmeier). Primary type depository:
NHMB.
Type notes:
1)
Santschi, 1929h described this taxon from a single worker. 2) The specimen(s) in
MCZC cited by
Lattke, 1995: 148, may be from the same series as the holotype. 3)
Scott-Santos et al., 2008: 79, indicate that
MZSP houses a syntype of
Holcoponera teffensis (Coll. Borgmeier 2514, MZSP0083482). Additionally, Borgmeier's handwritten catalog #2514 (at
MZSP) indicates that the specimen is a “Type”. Thus, this specimen is likely part of the type series, as it was Borgmeier who recognized the species and sent it to Santschi for their description. (Mônica Antunes Ulysséa)
