Primary type information:
Primary type material: lectotype worker (by designation of
Bolton, 1977: 119). Primary type locality: lectotype Indonesia: Aru Is (
A.R. Wallace). Primary type depository:
OXUM (lectotype). Primary type specimen:
CASENT0901373 (lectotype).
Type notes:
1)
Donisthorpe, 1932c: 455, cites 2 worker syntypes in
OXUM (only one now present (= lectotype)). 2) A very dirty specimen (now cleaned and remounted), identical to the
OXUM specimen but without data cards, was found in
BMNH. It is suspected that this specimen was originally the second
OXUM syntype (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978).
