Protonym: Odontomachus quadrispinosus
| Authorship | Smith, 1858a: 78, pl. 5, figs. 15-17 |
|---|---|
| Forms | w. |
| Bioregion | Neotropic |
| Locality | BRAZIL (Pará) |
| Primary type information | Primary type material: 3 syntype workers. Primary type locality: Brazil: (no further data), Brazil: Pará, 48/133 (H.W. Bates & A.R. Wallace). Primary type depository: BMNH. |
| Type notes | 1) A specimen tagged as holotype in BMNH is labelled “Brazil” and also has a Farren White label. It is probable that this determination is a secondary labelling by Farren White (who seems to have had a habit of throwing away original data labels and substituting his own). 2) Also in BMNH are two Anochetus quadrispinosus workers with the data, “Para 48/133”, for which the BMNH accessions register gives: “1848 no. 133. Para. Bt of Stevens. Collected by Mssrs Bates & Wallace.” One of these specimens is sublabelled “172.” I suspect that all three together constituted the original syntype series (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978). |
