Myrmica rugosa Mayr, 1865 valid

Myrmica rugosa Mayr, 1865: 19 (footnote) (w.) HIMALAYA. Palearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: lectotype worker (by designation of Radchenko & Elmes, 2001b: 244). Primary type locality: lectotype “Himalaya” (no further data). Primary type depository: MNHU. Secondary type information: Secondary type material: 4 paralectotype workers. Secondary type locality: same as for lectotype. Secondary type depositories: BMNH, MSNG, ZMUM. Type notes: Radchenko & Elmes, 2010: 243, recognise 4 paralectotypes. In the original description Mayr says that specimens were “in my collection”, which implies that at least one more syntype should be in NHMW.

Lectotype designation: Radchenko & Elmes, 2001b: 244.
