Solenopsis texana

Solenopsis texana Emery, 1895 valid

Solenopsis pollux var. texana Emery, 1895d: 278 (w.) U.S.A. (Texas). Nearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: lectotype worker (by designation of Pacheco & Mackay, 2013: 336). Primary type locality: lectotype U.S.A.: Texas (T. Pergande). Primary type depository: MHNG. Primary type specimen: CASENT0908855. Secondary type information: Secondary type material: 4 paralectotype workers. Secondary type locality: same as for lectotype. Secondary type depositories: MHNG, MHNW. Type notes: 1) Other original syntypes perhaps in MSNG. 2) Pacheco & Mackay, 2013: 336, list MHNW as a depository for the paralectotype specimens. However, this abbreviation is not in their list of depositories (p. 18). Perhaps NHMW ? They incorrectly list this depository as "...Wien, Switzerland", whereas it should be "...Wien, Austria".

Lectotype designation: Pacheco & Mackay, 2013: 336.
