Type notes:
1)
Donisthorpe, 1932c: 456, cites 1 major worker, 1 minor worker in
OXUM but points out that these cannot be type material as their locality is “Men.” (= Menado, Sulawesi), whereas
Smith, 1859a cited Aru as type locality. 2) Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978, cites 3 worker syntypes (on a single card) in
OXUM, with the correct locality.
