“…The other most abundant ant species in the area is the Dolichoderinae Tapinoma sp. (T. nigerrimum group, Nylander, 1859), plus a few scattered colonies of the Myrmicinae species Crematogaster scutellaris (Oliver, 1972), Messor structor (Latreille, 1798), Messor capitatus (Latreille, 1798), Pheidole pallidula (Nylander, 1849), and the Formicinae species Camponotus aethiops (Latreille, 1798), and Plagiolepis pygmaea (Latreille, 1798) (see Balzani et al 2020). Workers of L. neglectus occupied the trunks of almost all the trees occurring in the area (mostly oaks, Quercus sp., but also cypresses, Cupressus spp., and pines, Pinus spp., Frizzi et al 2020).…”
