Monomorium aeyade Collingwood & Agosti, 1996: 341 (w.) OMAN. Palearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: neotype worker (by designation of Sharaf et al., 2018: 6). Primary type locality: neotype Oman: Wadi Aeyad, 20.iii.1990 (M.D. Gallagher). Primary type depository: WMLC (neotype). Primary type specimen: CASENT0922329. Type notes: 1) Originally described from 2 workers (holotype + paratype). 2) The neotype appears to be the original paratype (as Sharaf et al., 2018: 9, point out that the original holotype has been lost). 3) The remaining paratype should therefore be the lectotype. 4) 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.
