Notes:

This species, primarily described as a subspecies of Tetramorium caespitum , was raised to species rank by Röszler (1951), but this name was then forgotten for many years, until Csősz and Markó (2004) redescribed it. The latter authors considered Tetramorium hungaricum as a Ponto-Caspian or Balkan element.
