Myrmica balcanica var. scabrinodoides Sadil, 1952

Myrmica balcanica var. scabrinodoides Sadil, 1952: 255 , Figs V, VIII, IX, XI (original description).

Two paralectotypes are deposited in NMPC (both dry mounted, glued on rectangular card labels):

PARALECTOTYPE (1 ♀): ‘ Myrmica / wesmaeli / Bondr. [hw] // V. 1938 / Bohnice / PRAHA / l. J. Sadil [hw] // M. b. var / scabrinodoides / Sadil (det 1951) [hw] // Mus. Nat. Pragae, Inv. [p] 3060 [hw]// Paralectotypus / (Bezděčková et al. 2017) [p, red label]’.

PARALECTOTYPE (1 ♀): ‘Ing. J. Palásek / Kylešovice, Sil. / ČSR 4.9.1937 [p] // COTYPE [p, red label] // M. balcanica / scabrinodoides / Sadil (det. 1951) // Mus. Nat. Pragae, Inv. [p] 3062 [hw] // Myrmica [p] / puerilis Stke [hw] //, Det. С. A. Collingwood [p] // M. rugulosa / dt. Radchenko iii - 2001 // Paralectotypus / (Bezděčková et al. 2017) [p, red label]’.

Current status. Junior subjective synonym of Myrmica specioides Bondroit, 1918 according to RADCHENKO & ELMES (2010).

Remarks. The lectotype (♀ from Praha-Hlubočepy) was designated by RADCHENKO & ELMES (2010: 286); it is deposited (together with 2 ♀♀ and 2 ♁♁ paralectotypes from the same site) in the Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland. One of the paralectotypes in NMPC (the specimen from Kylešovice) is not conspecific with the lectotype and belongs, in fact, to M. rugulosa Nylander, 1849 ( RADCHENKO & ELMES 2010).
