Formica pallidefulva Latreille, 1802a: 174 (w.) U.S.A. Nearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype (?) worker. Primary type locality: U.S.A.: (no further data) (Beauvois). Primary type depository: unknown (perhaps MNHN or MRSN). Type notes: 1) No indication of number of specimens is given. 2) Trager et al., 2007: 624, report “supposedly type-compared material in MCZC”, but these specimens are most probably those cited by Creighton, 1950a: 550, as “Specimens on which Emery based his 1893 redescription... in USNM and MCZC”.
