Remarks:
This specimen has all information from the original description (
Borgmeier 1949
), except the name of the host (ant) “
Eciton
(
Nomamyrmex
)
crassicorne
F. Smith
” (
Borgmeier 1949: 116
). However, we are considering this specimen as
type
because of the great agreement in data and the large number of original
paratypes
included in
Borgmeier (1949)
. Occasional missing host or date data would not be unusual in such a large series of specimens and the disagreement in host name could be due to a change in identification of the host ant after those specimens were labeled (Dr. Alfred F. Newton, Field Museum of Natural History, FMNH, personal communication).
