Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype (?) male. Primary type locality: South America: (no further data) (
d’Orbigny) (“In Mr Westwood’s collection”, =
OXUM). Primary type depositories:
MNHN,
NHMB,
OXUM. Primary type specimen:
CASENT0901945.
Type notes:
1) Probably only a single specimen is involved. 2)
Santschi, 1921g: 92, gives Patagonia, 1834 (
d’Orbigny) as data on the
MNHN,
NHMB specimens (these data repeated in
Baroni Urbani, 1977e: 71). 3) The number of syntypes does not correlate with the statement by
Shuckard, 1840a: 199, which says “In the present genus [
Labidus,
sensu Shuckard, 1840a,
Shuckard, 1840b] I have seen but single specimens of any species”. 4)
Esteves et al., 2011: 347, cite 8 syntype workers in
MZSP, but this species was described only by males. See further notes about these specimens in
Ulysséa et al., 2025: 9.
