Primary type information:
Primary type material: syntype workers (number not stated, “numerous”). Primary type locality: Brazil: Rio Grande do Sul, Neu Wuertemberg, x.1914 (E. Garbe). Primary type depositories: MZSP, NHMB, SIZK.
Type notes:
A lectotype and 7 paralectotype workers designated by Wild, 2007a: 61, bear the data: Rio Grande do Sul, 19.i.1918 (no collector’s name), which does not correspond to Borgmeier’s original type data and casts doubt on the validity of the lectotype designation.
