Cataglyphis altisquamis (André)

Iran list Type location Syria (Myrmecocystus altisquamis sp. n. André, 1881b: 58, illustrated, worker; André, 1882b: 171, queen, in key) Abeille de Perrin; see below.

André's (1881b) description is at - .

Note: André's (1882) description of the queen as "Head and alitrunk matt, very densely and granulously ridged-punctate; gaster with very fine transverse striation, quite shiny.  Dusky red with the legs brownish and and gaster bronzy-black.  Petiole scale slightly thickened and quite high, with the upper margin deeply triangularly impressed. TL 10 mm. After a single specimen from Algeria", seems likely not to be altisquamis but a north African relative.
