Radchenko, Alexander G., Fisher, Brian L., Esteves, Flavia A., Martynova, Ekateryna V., Bazhenova, Tatyana N. & Lasarenko, Svetlana N., 2023, Ant type specimens (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in the collection of Volodymyr Opanasovych Karawajew. Communication 1. Dorylinae, Poneromorpha and Pseudomyrmecinae, Zootaxa 5244 (1), pp. 1-32 : 26

Typhloteras hamulatum Karawajew, 1925b: 129 , Fig. 5 , w.

Current status: Centromyrmex hamulatum . Combination in Centromyrmex: Brown 1953: 8 (s/f Ponerinae ).

Type locality(-ies): “ Siak , Sungei Pinang (Sumatra), O. John (Nr. 355, 363 und 366), einige ww bei Capritermes, Mirotermes und Eutermes gesammelt” .

Original Karawajew labels: 2 w, “ Sumatra, Siak, / Sungei Pinang, / O. John, 356, 363-6”, “ Typhloteras / hamulatum / Karavaiev, 1923. / Typus ”, “ Syntypus ww / Typhloteras / hamulatum Karaw. ” .

Material: SYNTYPES, 2 w ( CASENT0916831 ) (Box 3) .

Notes. There is also 1 worker (def.) with the labels “ Sumatra, Siak / Sungei Pinang / O. John, № 337-e”, “ Typhloteras hamulatum Karawajew, 1923 . / Typus”, “ Syntypus / Typhloteras / hamulatum Karaw. ”, but its collection number (337-e) does not correspond with the numbers given in the original description. Beside this, there are one queen with the labels “ O. John, 411”, “ Typhloteras / hamulatum Kar. / Det. Karawajew, 25”, and one male with the labels “ O. John, 411” and “ Typhloteras / hamulatum Kar. / Det. Karawajew, 25”. Despite the queen and male not belonging to the type series, Karawajew (1926e: 419) described them for the first time, and this material has important taxonomic value.
