Inconvenient hyperdiversity - the traditional concept of “ PheIdole pallIdula ” includes four cryptic species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Author Bernhard Seifert text Soil Organisms 2016 88 1 1 18 journal article 39144 10.5281/zenodo.270253 be6d3869-eeaa-4921-ae09-29094525c23d 270253 Pheidole jordanica Saulcy, 1874 P. jordanica has been described from Jericho, Israel. The morphological description states the eyes to have twice the size and the segments of antennal club to have 1.5 fold the length observed in P. pallidula and the carinulae on head extending to hind vertex. This excludes a synonymy with any member of the P. pallidula complex. Future revisers should check a synonymy with Ph. sinaitica .
