Notes

Although this species has a wide range of distribution (from Europe and Anatolia to the Near East), it is limited to xerothermous grasslands at relatively low altitudes ( Borowiec and Salata 2018, Seifert 2018). Only three localities are known so far for Formica clara in Bulgaria ( Lapeva-Gjonova et al. 2010) and the Eastern Rhodopes is a new distribution area.
