Comments: Although Seifert (1992) separated former L. alienus into 3 species ( L. alineus , L. paralienus Seifert and L. psammophilus Seifert ), even he revised the L. paralienus species complex and delimited L. paralienus in North Europe to Sweden and L. bombycina Seifert & Galkowski from south-east Cental Europe, Balkans and Turkey ( Seifert and Galkowski, 2016). Recently Seifert concers 9 species alienus , paralienus , bombycina , casevitzi, kritikos, obscuratus, psammophilus , piliferus, and creticus in the alienus species complex in his revision (Seifert, 2020). Although Turkish L. alienus material still included several morphospecies, material given here consist only true L. alienus samples. In this manner Turkish Lasius alienus species complex need revision according to recent studies.
