Alloformica flavicornis (Kusnetzov-Ugamskij) View in CoL nov. comb.

Cataglyphis cursor ssp. flavicornis Kusnetzov-Ugamskij, 1926: 72 . Syntypes workers, USSR (Turkestan, West Tian-Shan: Ak-Tash-mountains, 60 km northeast of Tashkent; Usun-Atshak; Peskem River; Ugam ridge north of Kisil valley; all between 2000 and 2600m) MNHP [examined; see note below], [Synonymy with Cataglyphis cursor ssp. rock ingerì by Santschi, 1929a: 36.]

Note: In the MNHP, Paris, there is one cotype (worker) with five mandibular teeth, the apical not much longer than the subapical, a tubular first maxillary palp segment and a distinct reticulate sculpture on the head and alitrunk. This combination of characters diagnoses ants of the genus Alloformica (Agosti, in preparation). The emarginate occiput, which is unique within Profomica, Alloformica and Cataglyphis , separates flavicornis from the two other species within Alloformica .
