Figure 12 (map, worker), S64 (lectotype worker), S65 (queen)

Cerapachys toltecus Forel, 1909: 247 . Syntype workers: Guatemala (‘received from Pergande’) [MHNG, examined]. One worker here designated LECTOTYPE (specimen identifier CASENT0644430) to ensure nomenclatural stability. A pin at MCZC is labeled as cotype, with label ‘ Guatemala, Pergande coll’., and is presumably part of original syntype series.

Syscia tolteca Forel : Borowiec, 2016: 224.

Fig. 12. Distribution map, face view, lateral view of petiole-AIV, and dorsal view of AIII-AIV of Syscia tolteca (lectotype worker), S. atitlana (holotype worker), S. lacandona (holotype worker), S. JTL049 (worker, CASENT0644222), S. JTL065 (worker, CASENT0602939), S. amblyogyna (holotype worker), S. ticomontana (holotype worker), S. JTL017 (worker, INB0003693097), S. JTL079 (worker, CASENT0642985), and S. transisthmica (holotype worker). Species are in order of mean HW, which is shown in the lower left of the distribution map. Scale bars 0.2 mm. On distribution maps, red dots are sites with UCE sequence data. Red boxes are type locality (not shown for S. tolteca, with type locality ‘Guatemala’).
