Pheidole teneriffana Forel, 1893 View in CoL View at ENA Fig. 5
Pheidole teneriffana Forel, 1893 . - Ann. Soc. Entomol. Belg. 37: 465. (Spain: Canary Islands).
Specimens examined: Yemen, Socotra Island: spms from Hadibo, IX.1998, W Wranik, CWWR ; spms from Hadibo, III.1999, W Wranik, CWWR . - Yemen, Darsa Island: 10.II.2000, W Wranik, CWWR .
Remarks: This species is probably native throughout northern Africa and appears to be spreading over a wide front in the Middle East, Arabia and the Mediterranean countries. The low and wide angulate postpetiole and the completely striate head in the major worker, with some sculpture present also in most minor workers, are diagnostic characters. In addition to Fig. 5, the detailed drawings by Snelling (1992) may be studied.
