Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Saudi Arabia: Wadi Majarish, 21°23’N, 40°15’E, 17.iii.1983 (
W. Büttiker). Primary type depository: unknown (perhaps
WMLC, perhaps
NHMB if Büttiker material was returned).
Secondary type information:
Secondary type material: paratype workers (number not stated). Secondary type locality: same as for holotype. Secondary type depository: unknown (perhaps
WMLC, perhaps
NHMB if Büttiker material was returned).
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.
