Nomenclature
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World.
- chorassanica. Aphaenogaster (Attomyrma) gibbosa subsp. chorassanica Arnol'di, 1968: 1805 (w.q.m.) TURKMENIA.
- Junior synonym of gibbosa: Dlussky, Soyunov & Zabelin, 1990: 212.
Taxonomic Notes
Salata & Borowiec (2018) - The status of A. gibbosa chorassanica Arnol’di, 1968 remains unclear. According to characters noted in the original description (Arnol’di 1968) it seems to be a distinct species. Unfortunately, we had no possibility to study the types of this taxon and at the moment we propose keeping its status as a synonym of A. gibbosa.
