Countries Occupied

Number of countries occupied by this species based on AntWiki Regional Taxon Lists. In general, fewer countries occupied indicates a narrower range, while more countries indicates a more widespread species.

Relative abundance based on number of AntMaps records per species (this species within the purple bar). Fewer records (to the left) indicates a less abundant/encountered species while more records (to the right) indicates more abundant/encountered species.

Nomenclature

The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World.

• mosis. Crematogaster auberti var. mosis Forel, 1909c: 104.
  • [First available use of Crematogaster auberti subsp. jehovae var. mosis Forel, 1907b: 207 (w.q.) ISRAEL; unavailable (infrasubspecific) name.]
  • Type-material: syntype workers, syntype queens (numbers not stated).
  • Type-locality: Israel (“Palestine”): (no further data).
  • Type-depository: MHNG.
  • As unavailable (infrasubspecific) name: Emery, 1912e: 661; Emery, 1922e: 142; Emery, 1926: 3.
  • Subspecies of jehovae: Menozzi, 1933b: 61 (in key); Santschi, 1937e: 313 (in key); Bolton, 1995b: 158; Vonshak, et al. 2009: 42.
  • [Note: Collingwood & Agosti, 1996: 331, ascribe mosis to Emery, 1869a: 35, and raise it to species rank. There is no Emery entry at this reference, but Emery, 1869a: 135, describes laestrygon (again without mention of mosis); therefore the apparent attribution of mosis to Emery, and its elevation to species-rank, is incorrect and is ignored.]
  • Status as species: Collingwood, et al. 2011: 426; Tohmé, G. & Tohmé, 2014: 135.
  • Distribution: Israel, Lebanon, United Arab Emirates.
