Synonyms

Bothriomyrmex corsicus is a thermophilous species, observed [within Greece] in pastures with shrubs and luminous deciduous forest. Nestsing under stones. It prefers lowland and upland areas located between 210-850 m. (Borowiec and Salata 2022)

Identification

Borowiec and Salata (2022), for Greece - Bothriomyrmex corsicus differs from the only Greek congener Bothriomyrmex communista in sparser and shorter appressed pubescence of gastral tergites which makes the surface of tergites well visible from under the hair. It has also broader clypeus with clypeal index 0.736-0.771.
