Primary type information:
Type-material: 5 syntype workers. Type-locality: Indonesia: Celebes (= Sulawesi), Tondano, “Tond.” (A.R. Wallace). Type-depository: OXUM.
Type notes:
Each worker is on a separate card with the letter “b” written in the lower left corner. Donisthorpe, 1932c: 469, nominated specimens in OXUM from “Wag.” (= Waigeu I., New Guinea) as type-series of Carebara laboriosa. This is in error as Smith clearly stated that the type-locality was “Celebes, Tondano.”
