Aphaenogaster sangiorgii

Borowiec (2014) notes that this taxon was described based only on a single queen collected in Cephalonia Island and later reported from Macedonia (Karaman 2002). Its status needs revision, with great probability the holotype specimen is an aberrant individual of a species within the Aphaenogaster finzii-subterraneoides complex. Schifani et al. (2022) found the identity of this taxon to be uncertain.
