[Note: the assumption by some authors (e.g. Emery, 1916b: 11; Wheeler, 1916o: 171 (in text); Donisthorpe, 1941f: 37; Donisthorpe, 1943g: 633), that Ruzsky nominated Formica flava Fabricius, 1782 as type-species is incorrect. Ruzsky, 1912: 630, included those species "with the appearance of the yellow Lasius (Lasius flavus D.G.) and its closely related species, and races (Lasius carniolicus, Lasius umbratus, Lasius myops, Lasius mixtus)". This is not a direct nomination of a type-species, nor is De Geer (= D.G.) the author of Lasius flavus (Bolton, 1995b: 24).]
