 The
photomontage of a "cotype" worker is
collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0909129.
The "cotype" label does not match the Mayr information but the specimen
appears to be among those listed by Bolton (1980) as "no loc. ex. coll.
Mayr".
See the Bernard specimen from Guinea, N'Zo, at http://www.antweb.org/specimenImages.do?code=casent0914278.
It is swamped in glue and less obviously bicoloured.
