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 pallidula tasdelenia Özdikmen, 2010 Replacement name for Pheidole tristis Forel, 1907 [Junior secondary homonym of Pheidole tristis S mith, 1858]. It was described from Kairouan, Tunisia on the basis of a single specimen considered by Forel as a microgyne (2.6–2.8 mm total length). The status of this problematic specimen cannot be cleared up without very extensive investigations of the Tunisian Pheidole populations.
