Type notes:
1) Original description (if it can be called that) merely mentions the castes in passing. 2) Details of type material are as provided by
Wilson, 1984b: 323. 3) Both
Wilson, 1984b: 325, and
Wilson, 2003a: 456, seem unsure if the workers collected with the type-series queens are actually conspecific.
