Lasius minimus

This taxon is considered to be unidentifiable and its identity is uncertain. It was described from the Okeanskaya Railroad Station near Vladivostok. The description only mentions the very small size of the ants and might possibly refer to dwarf workers of Lasius japonicus or Lasius vostochni (Seifert, 2020; Boudinot et al., 2022).
