Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Indonesia: Aru Is, “Aru 59” (
A.R. Wallace). Primary type depository:
OXUM.
Type notes:
1)
Donisthorpe, 1932c: 453, cites 1 worker in
OXUM (confirmed by Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978). 2) A second specimen from Aru is present in
OXUM, marked “Aru 56,” but the style of writing is different from the holotype label (where the writing is homogeneous) and the “56” appears to have been added separately, as it is in a different colour of ink (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978).
