Cataglyphis viaticoides (E. Andre)
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; Myrmecocystus albicans ssp. viaticoides, Emery, 1906: 53; Cataglyphis (Cataglyphis) albicans ssp. viaticoides, Emery, 1925: 263; Cataglyphis (Cataglyphis) albicans st. viaticoides, Santschi, 1929a: 55; Cataglyphis (Cataglyphis) albicans ssp. viaticoides, Menozzi, 1933: 85; Cataglyphis viaticoides, Arnoldi, 1964: 1809.] (Description ofmale 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!).
