 André's (1881b)
description is at  .
Emery (1906d: 173) gave notes and described persicus, this is
at  .

 The
photomontage of a type worker, TL ca 6 mm, is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0102117.
Possibly a media worker, André gave TL range 4-6 mm, but the head shape
is not that of a characteristic Cataglyphis
major. Emery noted the persicus
major was TL 7.3 mm.
|
 The
photomontage of a minor worker from the persicus type collection, is
collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=0102118
(colour correct by me). Matches the minor head in Emery's drawing.
