Cataglyphis viaticoides View in CoL View at ENA (E. André)

Myrmecocystus albicans var. viaticoides E. Andre, 1881: 57 . Syntypes workers, Lebanon (Beyrouth, leg. Abeille), MNHP, MHNG [examined; see note below], [Later changes: Myrmecocystus albicans r. viaticoides, Forel, 1902a: 156 ; Myrmecocystus albicans var. viaticoides, Forel, 1904: 383 View Cited Treatment ; Myrmecocystus albicans ssp. viaticoides, Emery, 1906: 53 ; Cataglyphis (Cataglyphis) albicans ssp. viaticoides, Emery, 1925: 263 View in CoL ; Cataglyphis (Cataglyphis) albicans st. viaticoides, Santschi, 1929a: 55 View in CoL ; Cataglyphis (Cataglyphis) albicans ssp. viaticoides, Menozzi, 1933: 85 View in CoL ; Cataglyphis viaticoides, Arnoldi, 1964: 1809 View in CoL .] (Description of male genitalia: Arnoldi, 1964: 1809, fig. 9; distribution: Tinaut and Plaza, 1989: 197.)

Note. The syntypes do not correspond with the current conception ( Kugler, 1988 and personal communication, Collingwood, personal communication) of viaticoides , since all the syntypes are uniform bright yellow and do not have a darker gaster.

Tinaut and Plaza (1989) point out that the bicoloured form in the Iberian peninsula might be rosenhaueri and not viaticoides , but do not give diagnostic characters to separate the taxa.

One worker syntype in MHNG is labelled ‘Sevilla’ and is possibly misidentified (= rosenhaueri !).
