Lasius nitidus (Kuznetzov-Ugamsky 1927)

Acanthomyops niger subsp. nitidus (Kuznetzov-Ugamsky 1927)

This taxon has been collected at the Kara Su river, 65 km NE Tashkent, Uzbekistan and was reported to differ from Lasius niger by a more shining cuticular surface. Considering which species potentially occur at the type locality, the description might possibly refer to dark color variants of Lasius flavescens or L. uzbeki .
