Bioregion Neotropic
Locality ARGENTINA (Santiago del Estero)
Primary type information Primary type material: 2 syntype soldiers, 2 syntype queens. Primary type localities: 1 soldier, 1 queen Argentina: Santiago del Estero, edge Río Salado, vic. Icaño (E.R. Wagner); 1 soldier, 1 queen Argentina: Santiago del Estero, Río Dulce (Le Moult). Primary type depositories: MNHN, NHMB.
Type notes De Andrade & Baroni Urbani, 1999: 675, report that the lectotype soldier designated by Kempf, 1964b: 252 (in NHMB) cannot be found. Perhaps it was never labelled because De Andrade & Baroni Urbani, 1999: 677, report 2 soldiers, 1 queen as examined syntypes. Material is therefore all retained here as syntypic.
