Stigmatomma denticulatum type material

Holotype worker from Monte Scapo (Mt. Scapo), Insel Zante (Zante Is.), Griechenland (Greece), Von Kiesenwelter : 18992, CASENT0104566 (Yoshimura & Fisher, 2012: 3). Only one specimen from Greece is in ZMHB and it is labeled ‘‘typus.’’ Original labels on this specimen seem to have been replaced by new labels. The new label mistakenly lists the collector as ‘‘Roger, S.’’ instead of Von Kiesenwelter.
