Camponotus kiesenwetteri (Roger 1859)

This taxon has been described from Greece. The type specimen depicted in antweb.org under FOCOL2486 shows a much stronger, more reticulate-foveolate sculpture and much denser pubescence on all body surfaces than observed in any member of the C. lateralis group. This results in a matt surface appearance at smaller magnifications. Yet, C. kiesenwetteri is certainly related to this group considering several body shape characters.
