Primary type information:
Primary type material: lectotype ergatoid queen (by designation of
DuBois, 1986: 88). Primary type locality: U.S.A.: California, Catalina I., 1904 (
C.F. Baker). Primary type depository:
AMNH.
Secondary type information:
Secondary type depositories:
AMNH,
MCZC.
Type notes:
DuBois, 1986: 88, cites 33 worker, 33 queen syntypes (21w, 16q
AMNH, 12w, 17q
MCZC), all apparently from the type locality. This does not tally with
Wheeler, 1904e’s original comment that the syntypes were “numerous workers and eight females taken from three different nests”.
