Type locality(-ies): “ Steinbruch bei Douchat-abad, 4 Kilometer südwärts von Teheran ( Persien ), 23.IX.1916 , Bocquillon, Arbeiter. Typen in meiner Sammlung und dem Kaukasischen Museum (Tiflis)”. Original Karawajew label(-s): “ Myrmecocystus (Cataglyphis) / bicolor F. subsp. Bellicosu s Karav. / Typus V. Karavaiev, 1916 / 23.IX.1916 +оухан-абадъ бл.?еге- / рана, Персия. Неизв. собиратель. Кавк. Муз. [= Doukhan-abad near Teheran, Persia , Unknown collector, Caucasian Museum]” (see also Fig. 4 ). Material: SYNTYPES , 3 w (newly mounted, IN 314/6/1). Notes . The type locality was given in the original description as “Douchat-abad” (in German ), but in the original labels this place was spelled in Russian as “+оухан-абадъ” [= Doukhan-abad, in English]. Radchenko (1997b) believed that the type specimens of C. bellicosus were lost and designated the neotype worker: “Керман, ю-в Персия, В. Кузнецов, 23.III. 928” [= Kerman, SE Persia , V. Kuznetzov]. As the syntype specimens of this species have been found, the neotype specimen has lost its taxonomic value.
