| Type notes |
Schifani et al., 2022: 165, cite 30 paratype workers, 2 paratype queens in the heading, but go on to cite only 1 queen and 1 male in the collection details. They include a description of a damaged male (p. 167). It is therefore unclear whether the paratypes consist of 2 queens or 1 queen and 1 male. |
