that is too big. Otherwise the overall shape, etc., is more like C. libanicus.

The images of the following four species show little difference between
the type and other specimens, major or minor workers. It seems
possible, specially given that the type of C. lateralis probably is long lost, that the three others are no more than colour variations.

No. 00810 This poses a quandry as there are no images of workers associated with
the type queen. Images of fresh workers associated with a type matching
queen from Egypt and others from across the Sahara are as that shown
right and on the linked species page.
 The Radchenko determined specimen is quite different being larger and
being largely uniform darkish brown. It is an exact match for the minor
worker of C. fellah.

 The Antbase major appears to be an exact match with the major worker shown as "Camponotus alii" by Khandehroo et al. (2015) which clearly is not that species (see my note at the top of this page).
 
 The Iran results seem likely to be the concava form of C. aethiops (see above).
