Paratrechina zelotypa (Santschi)

Type location Tanzania [German East Africa, not Kenya] (Prenolepis (Nylanderia) Jaegerskioldi Mayr var. zelotypa n. var., Santschi, 1915c: 264, worker, raised to species Santschi, 1919b: 238); worker only .

Santschi's (1915c, 1919b) descriptions are at . He noted very similar to weissi but the latter is much less shiny and more yellow, with the sides of the head more convex (near straight in zelotypa). Also known from Zimbabwe.

Note: What I earlier took to be zelotypa is now defined as Paratrechina boltoni by LaPolla, Hawkes & Fisher (2011) .

This is considerably smaller than the Paratrechina jaegerskioeldi specimens from Egypt and Sudan. The alitrunk profile, notably the rounded propodeum also differs.

The queen from Kenya, at the bottom, also is smaller than the specimen from Egypt.
