Formica wheeleri Stitz

The existence or location of the types for this taxa is unknown and their descriptions are lacking diagnostic information. As a consequence, these taxa are incertae sedis and students of Coptoformica should not speculatively use these names in any context unless types are discovered and reliably identified (Seifert, 2000). The description does not allow even a guess to which of the three species occurring near Eberswalde this taxon might belong (Seifert & Schultz, 2021).
