Monomorium ruzskyi Dlussky & Zabelin

return to listIran list {link to the Hymenoptera Name Server} Type location Kazakhstan (Monomorium (Xeromyrmex) ruzskyi n. sp., Dlussky & Zabelin, 1985: 218, illustrated, worker) - no images on Antweb (August 2017).


Monomorium ruzskyiDlussky & Zabelin's (1985) description is at {original description}. They note that this includes in part the Monomorium salomonis record of Emery (1908g: 676, presumably the "Kaukasus, Transkaspien) reports") - see Monomorium salomonis. Whether or not the specimens I have from Iran are this or the type M. salomonis is something I cannot judge.
