Notes
.
Emery (1925b)
described
B. kusnezovi
based on
two workers
collected by
N. Kuznezov
in the
Dauny-tau mountains
(
Kazakhstan
).
However
, in
Karawajew’s
collection we found six more workers which undoubtedly belong to the nest series of
B. kusnezovi
(see label data above).
This
is confirmed by
Karawajew’s
original labels, where he denoted them as “
typus
”.
Based on Recommendation
72B of the
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
(ICZN 1999), we conclude these specimens are part of the
type
series.
