Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype (?) worker. Primary type locality: “Grand Indes”: (no further data) (Riche). Primary type depository: unknown (perhaps MRSN or MNHN, but probably no longer in existence). Type notes: 1) No indication of number of specimens is given. 2) All authors from Smith, 1858a: 16, have interpreted “Grand Indes” as India, but it may indicate the larger islands of the modern Malaysia + Indonesia.
