Pheidole (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Middle American Wet Forest Author Longino, John T. text Zootaxa 2019 2019-05-06 4599 1 1 126 journal article 26920 10.11646/zootaxa.4599.1.1 ea727a9b-324b-4c6b-a625-bc7cdd204473 1175-5326 2668058 7CDD24FF-5BA3-4D06-898D-A3E220515D4C Pheidole biolleyi Pheidole Biolleyi Forel, 1908 : 48 . LECTOTYPE major worker (here designated): Costa Rica , La Palma , 1600 m ( P. Biolley ) [MHNG, unique specimen identifier JTLC000014077 , examined]. Pheidole Biolleyi subsp. Tristani Forel, 1908 : 50 . LECTOTYPE major worker (here designated): Costa Rica , Cartago , 1450 m (Biolley) [MHNG, examined]. Synonymy by Wilson, 2003 : 170 . Comments . The syntype series of P. biolleyi subsp. tristani consists of two species. A major worker, designated here as the lectotype of tristani , is the same as P. biolleyi and maintains Wilson's synonymy of tristani under biolleyi . A minor worker from Santa Maria de Dota is identified here as the new species P. tinamu . I chose to maintain the synonymy by making the major worker the lectotype , rather than making the minor worker the lectotype and resurrecting P. tristani , so that P. tinamu could have a major worker as a holotype and be based on a full type series of fresh material.
