N.A, Weber). Primary type depository:
MCZ. Primary type specimen:
USNMENT01129855 (lectotype).
Secondary type information:
Secondary type material: 2 paralectotype workers. Secondary type locality: same data as lectotype but No.756, M.C.Z. CoType 25619; No.866, USNM59827. Paratype-depositories:
MCZ,
MZSP. Secondary type specimens: MCZ-ENT 00025619, MZSP0089185.
Type notes:
1) Original description cites “a small series of workers”. 2) According to
Cardenas et al., 2021: 26, a specimen of
Mycetomoellerius zeteki deposited at
NHMB bears a ‘‘cotype’’ (i.e., syntype) label in error. The data label reads as follows ‘[Barro Colo. I C.Z. 3441 NAWeber] [17.vi.56 3441] [
Trachymyrmex zeteki Weber] [
ANTWEBCASENT0912534] [type].’ It is not possible that this specimen, collected in 1956, 18 years after the
Mycetomoellerius zeteki type series was collected, is a type specimen of that species.
