Species group of pallitarsis (= Lasius s. str. Part 3/3) ( Figs 8I , 9I ) Constituent species (1): pallitarsis [e]. Distribution : Nearctic. Identification : Among groups of the flavus clade, workers are unique in having relatively large eyes (length ≥ 0.2 × head width). Offset basal mandibular tooth present (also claviger and carniolicus groups among flavus clade). Scapes and mesosoma not elongate as in L. atopus . Note : This species was classified in the former subgenus Lasius s. str. and has previously been recovered elsewhere in the phylogeny by Janda et al. (2004) and Maruyama etal. (2008) .
