Cardiocondyla elegans var. sahlbergi Forel, 1913d: 429 (q.) JORDAN. Palearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype queen. Primary type locality: Jordan: “Jourdain (Palestine)” (U. Sahlberg). Primary type depository: MHNG. Type notes: Seifert, 2003a: 235, designated as lectotype a queen from Caucasus, “Aralokaspigebiet” (Ruzsky) (probably now Azerbaijan). It seems from the original description that the single queen from Jordan was intended as the type material because that was the one described, and because Forel dismisses the Caucasus specimen with, “J’ai reçu dans le temps cette variété, peu importante du reste, de M. Ruzsky, du Caucase”.
