species-group in the adjacent southern and drier parts of the palaearctic. No species of one species-group is known to be found in the same habitat as any species of the other. The range of this group is from Portugal and Morocco in the west to central Asia in the East. They are not recorded from north of the Mediterranean Sea, the North African deserts, Anatolia, Iran and along the southern and eastern borders of the central asiastic deserts. The species are present in hilly terrain or along the foothills and share the patchy distribution of those particular habitats. The southernmost limit of distribution of the group is the Assir mountains in Saudi Arabia where assirensis has been collected at 3000 m (

complex: workers having long erect hairs all over the body and round pits in the otherwise reticulate sculpture of the frons, dull and often uniform dark reddish black; petiole cuneiform with the caudal face concave. There is a wide range of variation in pilosity and pubescence: from entirely pilose frontal femora to very sparse short pilosity of the ventral face; from a long thick pubescence on the gaster to a sparse, sometimes partitioned pubescence. There seems to be a morphocline from east to west within the Iberian peninsula, the Sierra Nevada populations including the least pilose specimen. Distribution; Iberian peninsula and Central Asia.
