Notes
.
Karawajew (1927a)
recorded as the
type
series of
var.
rectispina
two nest samples with collecting numbers
2495 and 2966
sampled in
Amboina (
Indonesia
)
. At the same time (
loc. cit
.) he determined as
P. dives
F. Smith
workers and queens collected in Java (Tjibodas) with the collecting number 2966; the latter material (workers and queens) is preserved in the Karawajew collection at SIZK. Also in the SIZK collection there are
34 workers
with the original Karawajew labels “
Amboina, Karawajew, 2462
”, “
Polyrhachis (Myrmhopla) dives
v.
rectispina
Karaw.
typus
” that corresponds to the label data from the collection of NMNH NASU. We suppose that in the original publication the number 2966 for the
type
series of
var.
rectispina
was given erroneously and really should be 2462.
