Tetramorium chefketi Forel   HNS : Agosti & Collingwood 1987a, 1987b

According to Agosti and Collingwood (1987a), the species (misspelled “chefteki”), which was described from the European part of Turkey, occurs also in Greece and Anatolia. We compared specimens from these areas with the worker syntypes (MHNG) and support this view. Schulz (1996) presented characters differentiating T. chefketi   HNS from the closely similar T. moravicum   HNS and T. forte   HNS , and Sanetra and Buschinger (2000) as well as Schlick-Steiner et al. (2005) studied its phylogenetic position in relation to T. forte   HNS , T. moravicum   HNS and T. semilaeve   HNS . Csösz et al. (unpubl.) ascribe the paralectotypes of T. forte   HNS from Alušta (Crimea, Ukraine) to T. caespitum sarkissiani Forel   HNS , 1911 and regard that taxon as synonymous to T. chefketi   HNS , which has equal priority.
