Lasius paralienus

49 nest samples with 106 workers were subjected to NUMOBAT investigation for all characters. These originated from the following countries: Austria 1, Bosnia 1, Bulgaria 1, France 1, Germany 30, Italy 13 and Switzerland 2 samples. All seven samples from Sweden were classified by the senior author as L. paralienus nine years before but were not available for the current investigation of the complete character set. As these Swedish sites are between 980 km and 1220 km north of the northern distributional border of L. bombycina sp.nov., there is no doubt that they belong to Lasius paralienus .
