11. Solenopsis canariensis Forel

(*) (2, w; 6, w q; 10, w; 11, w; 16, w; 18, w; 39, w). From 20 to 1300 m, cryptic and underground nesting species. The whole group of small yellow species of Solenopsis is in need of a revisionary study. The small, smooth, shining and morphologically convergent workers are extremely similar and sexuals seem to be the proper phenotype on which to base a sound taxonomy.
