Nomenclature
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World.
- raptor. Eciton (Acamatus) raptor Forel, 1911c: 289 (w.) BRAZIL (São Paulo).
- Type-material: syntype workers (number not stated).
- Type-locality: Brazil: São Paulo, Ypiranga (von Ihering).
- Type-depository: MHNG, NHMB.
- Combination in Neivamyrmex: Borgmeier, 1955: 481.
- [Note: the name raptans Forel, 1911d: 395 (footnote), was proposed as a replacement for raptor Forel, 1911c: 289, because of the name Eciton raptor Smith, F. 1855c: 169. The last name is however an incorrect subsequent spelling, in the figure legends, of Eciton rapax Smith, F. 1855c: 163. As an incorrect subsequent spelling raptor Smith, F. is unavailable, and therefore does not enter into homonymy.]
