Nomenclature

 * . 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.]
