Type notes:
1) Rakotonirina & Fisher, 2022: 83, mention a syntype alate queen, now a paralectotype. However, the species was originally described only from the worker caste. The queen specimen comes from Forel, 1892o: 232 and is not type series, therefore redundant as a paralectotype. 2) The original type locality data given is Imerină (Rév. Père Camboué, M. Sikora).
