Notes:

After examination of the “holotype” of Myrmica bessarabica Seifert (2002a) found that there is a discrepancy between Nasonov’s original description and the characteristics of this specimen, and proposed considering Myrmica bessarabica incertae sedis in the genus Myrmica, and revived the name Myrmica specioides from synonymy (see also Radchenko and Elmes 2004).
