Santschi's (1921d) description of the male ergatoid is at {original description}. Cagniant's (2009) description is at {original description}; he ascribed the specimens to the Santschi species because no other small black Cataglyphis are known from the zone.


{Cataglyphis theryi}The photomontage of the neotype worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0915502. Only fragments remain of the Santschi type male - see http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?code=casent0912231.
