Cataglyphis argentatus Radoszovski
Cataglyphis
argentata Radoszkovski, 1876: 140. Syntypes workers, Egypt or Ethiopia.
The placement of this species is tentative, as the type material is lacking and the description is ambiguous; all the morphological characters point to a relationship with
C.lividus
but the silvery hairs indicate a relationship with
bombycinus
or
laevior
.
