Mayr's (1877)
description is at -  . Mayr's types
apart from a male at https://www.antweb.org/specimenImages.do?name=casent0915677,
appear to have been lost. He gave the colour, however, as shiny fuscus
(fuscous) which implies a dark brown; the minor with a reddish
(rufo-testaceous) head; also with little pilosity but copious short
oblique hairs on the scape and legs; overll subtly coriaceous; the
mandibles with 6-7 teeth.
The two FoCol specimens shown below seem not to match
Mayr's colours but do have the copious hairs on the scapes and legs.
The Iran specimen appears not to match Mayr's definition. In his key,
Radchenko (1997) had : "47 (54) Numerous erect hairs present over the
whole body, so that cheeks, genae and occipital angles bear hairs" ..
"54. Erect hairs on head more sparse, present on cheeks; genae and
occipital angles, without hairs; body yellow of various tints". This
does not seem to match what Mayr wrote.
