Holotype and four paratypes are deposited in MHJC (all dry-mounted, glued on rectangular card labels). HOLOTYPE ( ♀ , enclosed in a small glass vial (35 × 8 mm ) stored inside a larger glass vial (50 × 20 mm ) marked lengthwise by red tape): ‘ Strongylognathus kratochvili Šilh. / Holotypus [worker symbol] – Mohelno [hw] // Strongylognathus / kratochvili Šilhavý [hw] / Holotypus [worker symbol] / 11141 [hw] -/- ČSSR / Mohelno – hadcová step / 21. III. 1936 / V. Šilhavý leg. et det. [hw] ’ [IN: E26-T5]. PARATYPES (1 a ♀ 1 d ♀ , each glued on a small rectangular label and all together on one larger card label ca. 40 × 16 mm ): ‘ Strongylognathus / Kratochvili Šilh. / Typ ♀ [hw] -/- 0339 [hw] // Strongylognathus ♀ / Kratochvili Šilh. / Mohelno 31. 3. 1936 [hw]’, [IN: E26-T6, E26-T7]. PARATYPES ( 2 ♀♀ , each glued on a small rectangular label and all together on one larger card label ca. 40 × 16 mm ): ‘ Strongylognathus / Kratochvili Šilh. / Paratypy [hw]’, [IN: E26-T8, E26-T9]. Current status. Valid as Strongylognathus kratochvili Šilhavý, 1937 ( BOLTON 2016 ). Remarks. In the Czech part of the original description, ŠILHAVÝ (1937: 7) stated that he collected a few specimens of workers of S. kratochvili on 31 March 1936 . However, in the French summary (p. 10), he indicated 21 March 1936 as the collecting date which also corresponds to the date on the label of the holotype . The female paratypes were collected, according to the original description (p. 7), in June 1936 , which differs from 31. 3. 1936 on their label. These discrepancies probably arose as a result of mistake during labelling of the female paratypes . One additional worker labelled as a paratype is stored in MHJC which is not considered to be a part of the type series due to year of the collection being after the description of the species (1945).
