Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Oman: Qarn al-Alam, 31.v.1989 (M.D. Gallagher). Primary type depository: unknown (perhaps WMLC, or ONHM if Gallagher material has been retained there).
Secondary type information:
Secondary type material: 1 paratype worker, 1 paratype queen. Secondary type locality: same as for holotype. Secondary type depository: unknown (perhaps WMLC, or ONHM if Gallagher material has been retained there).
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.
