Leptothorax buschingeri

Distribution
This taxon was described from Switzerland.

Biology
This species is most probably a junior synonym of Leptothorax acervorum. Only a couple of males from one colony have been described. Having compared the type material with numerous ordinary males of L. acervorum, and with a number of misshaped specimens, I am convinced that L. buschingeri represents nothing but teratological specimens of the presumed host species.
