As a result, some of the labels were blurred and some of the ants peeled away and fell off the cardboard triangles. In the 1970s G. M. Dlussky tried to restore this material based on data from Karawajew’s publications; he stuck ants back to triangles, pinned original labels back on, and added an additional label reading “Dlussky restaur.”. In some cases Dlussky may have attached some specimens or labels incorrectly, making it impossible to be absolutely certain that specimens are types of a particular species (particularly, restored by Dlussky).
