Formica atomus Latreille 1798

Since Roger (1863), this taxon has been synonymized with Tapinoma erraticum —for the last time by Shattuck (1994). An allocation to the genus Tapinoma appears reasonable based on the description of petiole scale. However, the remaining descriptory statements of Latreille can be applied to at least two different species expected for the type locality Brive.
