 Type location Syria (Messor
barbarus ssp semirufus var concolor, Emery, 1908e:
1448; Santschi, 1927c: 229, major & minor workers & male;
raised to
species Thomé, G. & Thomé, H., 1981b: 143, illustrated) from Syria
and Crete.

  Emery's (1908e) description is
at  .
Egypt record - record in Wheeler & Mann
(1916) from Wadi Feran, Sinai.
Note: Collingwood & Agosti (1996: 322) stated that M. concolor cotypes in the OUMNH
and NHMB were "confirmed as M.
wasmanni
". It seems possible, even likely, that the Crete specimens, i.e the
cotypes, differ from the Syria specimens. Antweb has no images of the
Krausse type of M. wasmanni.

 The photomontage of a syntype large media worker (see
the Torabi major below) is collated
from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0904126.
Note: the label has cotype and the specimen is from Crete.
