Type notes:
1) 6 worker syntypes (5
BMNH, 1
OXUM) confirmed (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978). 2)
BMNH accessions register gives: “1857 no. 63 (June 22). Province of Rio. Presented by Rev. Hamlet Clark”. 3) Three more workers in
BMNH are mounted in the same way as the syntypes but have passed through the Farren White collection and had their data labels altered to read “Rio. H. Clark.”; these are probably also syntypes. (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978).
