Taxonomic Notes
Discussing the junior synonym D. oraniensis, Taylor et al. (2018) note that "The smallest of the workers from Benin exactly matches the minima worker of saharensis, and yet they propose treating D. oraniensis as a valid species distinct from both Dorylus fulvus juvenculus and Dorylus fulvus saharensis. This proposal has not been accepted by more recent authors.
