Taxonomic Notes
Paknia, Radchenko, and Pfeiffer (2010) reported Proformica epinotalis from Iran. There is a syntype of that species at CASENT0912272 and an Iran specimen on ANTWEB1008083. The latter is smaller than the syntype and has a distinctly narrower head. According to Galkowski, Lebas, Wegnez, Lenoir, and Blatrix (2017) the taxonomy of the genus is confused and in need of revision. This reiterates Agosti (1994) and the situation is compounded by the dimorphic workers common to the genus.
