Bioregion Malagasy
Locality MADAGASCAR
Primary type information Primary type material: syntype major and minor workers (numbers not stated). Primary type locality: Madagascar: (no further data) (A. Grandidier). Primary type depository: probably MHNG.
Type notes 1) The lectotype designation by Rakotonirina et al., 2017: 140, consisting of lectotype minor worker, 4 paralectotype minor workers, 3 paralectotype males, Madagascar: (no further data) (A. Voeltzkow), is redundant as this locality and collector do not appear in the original description. 2) The Voeltzkow worker specimens apparently derive from Forel, 1897d: 186. 3) Provenance of the males remains a mystery.
