Oxyepoecus bruchi
Santschi, 1926d:
6, figs. A-D (q.)
ARGENTINA (Córdoba).
Neotropic.
Primary type information:
Type-material: lectotype queen (by designation of Kempf, 1974b: 478). Type-locality: Argentina: Córdoba, Alta Gracia (C. Bruch). Type-depository: MZSP.
Secondary type information:
Paratype-material: 2 paralectotype queens. Paratype-locality: same as for lectotype. Paratype-depositories: MZSP, NHMB.
Type notes:
Santschi originally gave the number of syntype queens as “many”. Kempf restricted his lectotype and paralectotypes to specimens in MZSP, but others are certainly present in NHMB, and perhaps also elsewhere.
