Formica polyctena FOERSTER, 1850 View in CoL [description, zoogeography]
This ant was described from Stolberg near Aachen / Germany where it formed a polydomous colony. FOERSTER (1850)’s description of setae condition and surface structures in the worker and gyne allows a clear differentiation from any Formica rufa group species present in this region.
