Collected by H.W. Bates in the months of July, Aug. Sept. 1855”. 3) The syntype worker mentioned by Smith, 1858a was not found. He gives two localities in the original description, Ega and Villa Nova. It is assumed that Ega referred to the queen (described first), and Villa Nova to the worker, now lost (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978). |
