| Type notes | 1) BMNH accessions register gives: “1857 no. 43 (May 16). Brazil. Presented by the Rev. Hamlet Clark. Collected at Constancia, Petropolis and other localities in the province of Rio. The localities are attached to each specimen”. 2) There is also one worker syntype in OXUM (with a pupa mounted on the same card), labelled “Constancia, Jan. 1857. H. Clark”. 3) Two further workers are present in BMNH that are identical and probably originated in the type-series, but they have passed through the Farren White collection and have lost their original labels (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978). 4) One other possible syntype in MZSP (Lattke, 2011: 152). |
