Temnothorax vivianoi Schifani et al., 2022: 164, figs. 64-74, 81 (w.q.m.) ITALY (Sicily). Palearctic.
Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Italy: Sicily, Monte Pellegrino, 38.1866° N, 13.3539° E, 9.x.2016 (R. Viviano). Primary type depository: MSNG. Secondary type information: Secondary type material: 30 paratype workers, 2 paratype queens. Secondary type locality: 10 paratype workers with same data as holotype; 10 paratype workers, 1 paratype queen (or male?) Monte Pellegrino, 38.1580° N, 13.3664° E, 15.iii.2016 (R. Viviano); 5 paratype workers, 1 paratype queen Monte Pellegrino, 38.1641° N, 13.3466° E, 20.v.2016 (R. Viviano); 5 paratype workers Monte Pellegrino, 38.1558° N, 13.3544° E, 6.v.2018 (R. Viviano). Secondary type depository: MSNG. Type notes: Schifani et al., 2022: 165, cite 30 paratype workers, 2 paratype queens in the heading, but go on to cite only 1 queen and 1 male in the collection details. They include a description of a damaged male (p. 167). It is therefore unclear whether the paratypes consist of 2 queens or 1 queen and 1 male.
