Formica axillaris Spinola 1808

It was described in a worker from Liguria / Italy. According to the shape characters reported, it belongs to the C. lateralis group. Furthermore, Spinola’s statements on color (‘Caput rubrum...Thorax niger... Abdomen nigrum’ allow the conclusion that it may belong to the color morph of C. lateralis mimicking Crematogaster scutellaris .
