Kempf, No. 1334) [MZSP] (not examined). Paratype workers, worker intercastes: same data as holotype; Sào Paulo, Cantareira, 1 Mar 1959 (Kempf & Santos); Rio de Janeiro, Itatiaia (J. F. Zikân, Coll.

Geographic range. Southern Brazil.
Comments. Octostruma stenognatha, O. batesi , and O. betschi are all similar in size and head shape and possibly form a clade. Although geographic coverage is poor, the known specimens form an allopatric or parapatric replacement series in South America.
