The very strong, often biphasic allometries, color polymorphism, size dimorphism as well as shape and setae polymorphism complicate the situation and do not allow simple answers to difficult questions. In order to achieve some simplicity, the key uses absolute measurements. All inputs to discriminant functions have to be in millimeters with exception of RipD where input in micrometers is required.</p><p>1a Vertex in the majority of specimens in a nest sample not completely blackish; reddish pigmentation at least in patches appearing, whole head often completely reddish brown.

IX. 1899.’, ‘ C. lateralis Ol guancha Sant’ and 1 type gyne labeled ‘Type’, ‘Tenerife Bajan..do 23: III: 1902’, ‘ C. lateralis guancha Sant’; both stored in NHM Basel. This species from the Canaries differs from all Eurocaucasian species shown in Tab. 2 and Tab. 3 by propodeal and petiolar shape. The dorsal surface of propodeum is clearly convex in transverse section. In lateral aspect, dorsum and caudal slope of propodeum form an angle of about 130°and the transition is rounded – i.e., there is no indication of a dorsocaudal protrusion or of an abrupt transition from dorsal plane to slope. The petiolar node is narrow (PeW/CS 1.25 0.322) but thick in lateral view – corresponding to the situation in Lasius fuliginosus (Latreille 1798) . These characters may possibly indicate a close relatedness to the North African taxa C. sicheli rubra Karavajev 1912 and C. sicheli nigra Karavajev 1912 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B91787A1F437297BD600FD99FC0FFB7D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Two minor worker syntypes from MHN Genève labeled ‘ C.lateralis Ol. ☿ r. spissinodis Forel type Lambessa’, ‘ANTWEB CASENT09110434 bottom w.’ and 3 major worker syntypes on another pin equally labeled ‘ANTWEB CASENT09110433 bottom w.’ were examined. The investigation showed that C. spissinodis is an African species related to those Eurocaucasian species of the C. lateralis group having a completely blackish dorsum of head. Among other characters, the C. spissinodis types differ from C. piceus, C. heidrunvogtae sp.nov. by the absent or very weak scape base extension (mean SCI 1.25 of four syntypes 1.062) and the clearest differences to C. atricolor is the much larger MGr/CS 1.25 (mean 0.077), the larger SL/CS 1.25 (mean 1.007) and smaller PrL/CS 1.25 (mean 0.397). The relation to C. candiotes appears controversial. There is no single NUMOBAT character which is clearly outside the range of C. candiotes (Tab. 3). Running a PCA of C. atricolor, C. candiotes and the syntypes of C. spissinodis, considering 12 RAVcorrected characters and cephalic size, the C. spissinodis types are placed by the first five principal components within the C. candiotes cluster. NC-part.kmeans and NC-part.hclust allocates the C. spissinodis types to the C. candiotes cluster but they appear with the latter algorithm as single-sample outlier of the C. candiotes cluster. NC-NMDS clustering places the centroid of the type series as outlier in 5 out of 15 bivariate plots of the first six stress vectors. C. spissinodis is not proposed here to be synonymous with C. candiotes because of outlier placements in two exploratory data analyses and differences in two characters clearly confirmed by ANOVA tests: SL/CS 1.25 (F 1,42 =14.23, p&lt;0.001) and PrL/ CS 1.25 (F 1,42 =17.94, p&lt;0.0005). Furthermore, the types of C. spissinodis show a stronger sculpture and more convex profile of dorsal propodeum and absolute size of the largest major worker exceeds the range known for C. candiotes .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B91787A1F4372974D600FAEBFECFFCC0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The taxon appears closely related to C. dalmaticus (Nylander 1849) . The type specimen of C. ebneri is allocated to the C. dalmaticus cluster when run as wild-card in an LDA considering the complete character set and all other entities listed in Tab. 2 and Tab. 3. Yet, a synonymization with C. dalmaticus appears premature due to the apparently disjunct distribution and because the data of PrW/CS 1.25 and nPr 1.25 are outside the range known for C. dalmaticus (Tab. 3). It is hypothesized here to represent an allopatric sister species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B91787A1F4382974D666FF14FBDCFCE3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The type locality is situated at 36.409°N, 44.317°E, 980 m and thus 1250 km east of the type locality of Camponotus anatolicus Karaman &amp; Aktac 2013 in W Anatolia. The holotype of C. staryi shows a high similarity to minor workers from the holotype nest of Camponotus anatolicus which I could examine. Considering the images in AntWeb. org as well as Pisarski’s drawing of the holotype in the original description, the interspecific differences verbally described by Karaman &amp; Aktac (2013) appear most doubtful. The only morphological argument for a possible heterospecificity is the wider petiole in the C. staryi holotype: PeW/CS 1.25 was calculated from the AntWeb.org images as 0.418 whereas it is 0.304 –0.381 in 9 specimens of C. anatolicus (Tab. 2).

There is a strong range overlap with C. piceus on the Balkans and some overlap with C. candiotes in the Caucasus.</p><p>Diagnosis (Tab. 3, see key): Differential characters of C. atricolor against other blackish species of the group, which are detectable by subjective eye inspection, are the shallow, sometimes nearly absent, metanotal depression, the roughly linear dorsal mesosomal profile and the missing extension of large scape diameter near to its base. However, due the negative allometry of scape base extension, this structure may be missing in large workers of the other four species. A minor worker is depicted in AntWeb.org under CASENT0179869 and a major worker under CASENT0179870.</p><p>Biology. See Seifert (2018).</p><p>Comments. C. atricolor has been raised to species level by Seifert (1996) and Seifert (2007) but this view did not receive much appreciation by other myrmecologists. It is apparent that C. atricolor, C. piceus and C. candiotes are closely related but only the latter two represent truly cryptic species. The exploratory data analyses NC-part. hclust, NC-part.kmeans and NC-Ward provide a clear separation of C. atricolor from the cluster of siblings formed by C. piceus and C. candiotes . Considering CS and all 12 RAV-corrected shape and seta characters, the error rate on the K = 2 level ( atricolor vs. piceus + candiotes) in 124 examined samples is 0% in NC-part.hclust, 2.4 % in NC-part.kmeans and 0 % in NC-Ward (Fig. 12). The three samples misclassified by NC-part.kmeans were rectified by the controlling LDA if run as wild-cards. The mean error rate of the three exploratory data analyses of 0.8% is clearly below the 4 % threshold recommended by the Pragmatic Species Concept (Seifert 2014). Thus we have a strong justification for the species status of C. atricolor (for the relations between C. candiotes and C. piceus see there).</p><p>This clear result on the nest sample level is confirmed by analyses on individual level. The classification error by a LDA considering the five blackish species given in Tab. 3 is only 1.3 % in 77 worker individuals of C. atricolor and 0.8 % in 357 individuals of all five species. The corresponding errors in a leave-one-out cross-validation LDA are 1.3 % and 1.4 % respectively.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B91787A1F420296DD5E1FB6FFA73FE14	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The exploratory data analyses NC-part. hclust, NC-part.kmeans, NC-NMDS-k-means and NC-Ward provided partially contradictory results regarding the heterospecificity of C. candiotes and C. piceus when CS and all 12 RAV-corrected shape and seta characters are considered. NC-Ward suggested C. candiotes to form a separate cluster with only one sample being misplaced (error 1.1% in 87 samples). However, both NC-part. hclust and NC-part.kmeans did not confirm the presence of more than one cluster.Accepting the hypothesis formed by NC-Ward, a stepwise LDA was run which reduced the considered data set to the characters CL/CW 1.25, SL/ CS 1.25, ScI 1.25, MGr/CS 1.25, nSc 1.25 and PrL/CS 1.25. Under this setting, NC-part.hclust fully confirmed the hypothesis formed by NC-Ward with three samples of C. piceus remaining unclassified – i.e., being placed as outliers. NC-NMDS-k-means clustering fully confirmed the hypothesis of NC-Ward but NC-part.kmeans, however, failed again to confirm the presence of two clusters (Fig. 13). With three exploratory data analyses confirming the final species hypothesis and one failing, I hypothesize C. candiotes to represent an eastern parapatric sibling species of C. piceus . The classification error in 180 individual workers is 1.1% by an LDA and 1.7% by a leave-one-out cross-validation LDA.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B91787A1F421296ED600FE1DFB4DFD6E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The full text of the original description is ‘Capite, antennis, thorace, abdomine pedibusque piceis, glaberimis, nitentibus; geniculis tarsisque ferrugineis. Corporis longitudo. M 5 mm, g 10 mm, w 5 mm.’ Figures were not given and it seems that no later revising taxonomist has seen original material of Leach and that types do not exist. Hence, it appears difficult to understand how revisers could reasonably allocate such a crude description to a certain species. There are several possible candidates for entirely blackish ants of this size from the environs of Nice with a glabrous shining surface, and apparently having no spines or dents on mesosoma (if so, Leach should have mentioned it as he did in other species descriptions). A Formica species, namely F. gagates Latreille or F. fusca Linnaeus, may be excluded because males of this subgenus do not have a clearly smaller body length than gynes. The jet black Lasius (Dendrolasius) fuliginosus can be excluded too because virgin gynes do not reach 10 mm. Blackish species related to Lasius niger might roughly match the size distribution over the three castes, but ferruginous ‘knees’ (i.e., the femoratibial joint) contrasting the blackish color of femora and tibiae do not occur here as it is with glabrous, shining and jet black surfaces. It is also not very likely that Formica picea Leach could refer to one of the two species of Proformica occurring in the vicinity of Nice (Galkowski et al. 2017) as these do not seem to have big differences in total body length between males and gynes and are more medium to dark brown in overall coloration and not glabrous. Hence, this argumentation finally points to a black species of the Camponotus lateralis group – at least there is no character in Leach’s description that is contradictory to this view. As the geographic distribution of the other blackish species of the group, namely C. atricolor, C. candiotes and C. heidrunvogtae n.sp., is much more eastern, there is sufficient reason to maintain the name allocation as it was done by other myrmecologists in the past. To settle this point, I designate herewith a neotype of C. piceus in a sample of two workers from near Nice, stored in SMN Görlitz and labeled ‘FRA: 43.799°N, 7.488°N, 90 m / Menton – 2.8 km N / leg. C. Galkowski 2011.08.10 ’ and ‘ Neotype (top) / Camponotus piceus (Leach 1825) / des. B. Seifert 2018 ’. The two workers of the neotype sample are allocated to C. piceus with a mean posterior probability of p = 0.9998 if run as wild-card in a 5-class LDA considering the five black species of the group given in Tab. 3.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B91787A1F4222969D666FC66FD8AFCA0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species seems to be restricted to the W Balkans, with a known geographic range covering only 120 000 km². Most of the known sites are along the Dinaric coast and the western slope of Dinaric mountains and all are situated below 1000 m.</p><p>Diagnosis (Tab. 3, key). This is the most easily identifiable species of the C. lateralis group. Its diagnostic characters are a combination of a very long scape, a narrow dorsal propodeal plane and a blackish head (see key). The major workers achieve a size larger than in any known species of the C. lateralis group.</p><p>Description (in contrast to Tab. 3, all numerics given here are primary, not RAV-corrected data)</p><p>-- Minor worker (Figs 14–16), data of 22 specimens: Larger than related species, CS 1140 ± 122 [979, 1427] µm. Head and scape relatively long, CL/CS 1.144 ± 0.021 [1.084, 1.170], SL/CS 1.113 ±0.051 [0.999, 1.167]. All surfaces of head, mesosoma and gaster with long erect setae. Extension of large scape diameter near to scape base strong, ScI 1.235 ± 0.041 [1.167, 1.341]. Dorsal plane of scape with occasional semi-erect or erect setae, nSc 0.9 ± 0.6 [0.5, 2.5]. Mesosoma rather narrow, MW/CS 0.759 ± 0.021 [0.707, 0.781]. Mesonotum and propodeum with, in terms of the C. lateralis group, many semi-erect to erect setae, nMn 6.5 ± 1.3 [4.0, 8.5], nPr 7.4 ± 1.6 [5.5, 11.5]. Dorsal propodeal plane narrow, PrW/CS 0.252 ± 0.016 [0.229, 0.284], in lateral view moderately convex, its median part a little higher than at level of its lateral edges (a difference to C. atricolor, piceus and dalmaticus). Metanotal groove moderately deep, MGr/ CS 0.056 ± 0.006 [0.045, 0.076]. Surface of head capsule and mesosoma moderately shining, with clinker-like microsculpture, appearing at smaller magnifications as microripples with reticular component. This microrelief is deeper on dorsal propodeum and flatter on gaster. Distance of micro-ripples on dorsal area of 1st gaster tergite relatively small, RipD 8.35 ± 0.46 [7.44, 9.15] µm. Head, mesosoma, petiole and gaster blackish, pronotum occasionally reddish on its lateral or entire surface. Coxae and femora usually dark brown. Mandibles, antennae, distal part of femora, metatarsae and tarsae usually light reddish brown.</p><p>-- Major worker (Figs 17–19) data of 10 specimens: Larger than related species, CS 1710 ± 162 [1494, 2022] µm. Head and scape relatively long, CL/ CS 1.025 ± 0.036 [0.967, 1.074], SL/ CS 0.864 ±0.050 [0.769, 0.919]. All surfaces of head, mesosoma and gaster with long erect setae. Extension of large scape diameter near to scape base even in large specimens still visible (at least suggested: ScI 1.096 ± 0.043 [1.058, 1.200]. Dorsal plane of scape with few semi-erect or erect setae, nSc 2.5 ± 1.2 [0.5, 4.5]. Mesosoma rather narrow, MW / CS 0.678 ± 0.023 [0.642, 0.710]. Mesonotum and propodeum with, in terms of the C. lateralis group, many semi-erect to erect setae, nMn 11.9 ± 1.6 [8.0, 14.0], nPr 10.6 ± 3.5 [5.0, 17.0]. Dorsal propodeal plane narrow, PrW/ CS 0.237 ± 0.013 [0.224, 0.263], in lateral view only very feebly convex, its median part a little higher than at level of its lateral edges. Metanotal groove moderately deep, MGr/ CS 0.049 ± 0.011 [0.039, 0.073]. Vertex with the bases of setae formed as deep foveolae. Surface of head capsule and mesosoma moderately shining, with clinker-like microsculpture, appearing at smaller magnifications as microripples with a reticular component. This microrelief is much flatter on gaster. Distance of micro-ripples on dorsal area of 1st gaster tergite relatively small, RipD 8.82 ± 0.75 [7.80, 9.67] µm. Head, mesosoma, petiole and gaster blackish, entire pronotum occasionally (but its lateral part frequently) reddish. Coxae and femora usually blackish brown. Mandibles dark reddish brown, antennae, distal part of femora, metatarsae and tarsae usually medium reddish brown.</p><p>Biology. The species was found in open xerothermous habitats which showed much surface coverage by rock or scree. Nests were also found at open, sunny spots within broad-leaved forest ( Quercus, Carpinus, Fraxinus). Nest were under stones or in soil. According to Adi Vesnic, the species is more thermophilic than sympatrically occurring C. piceus . This assessment on the microclimatic scale is in agreement with macroclimatic data.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B91787A1F426296BD5E1F973FB09F82E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
