Unplaced Taxa of Aphaenogaster 



According to Creighton (1950, Harvard Univ., Mus. Comp. Zool., Bui.) the following forms 

 were described from minims only, and it is not possible to detennine what they actually 

 represent. 



aquia (Buckley). N. Y., Va. In the early literature, this and fulva aquia (Buckley) were used 

 for what is currently called rudis rudis (Emery).
