8. Lasius (Lasius) paralienus Seifert 1992 A vast number of localities were published by Schifani & Alicata (2018) under the name L. cf. paralienus. These records should be actually referred to L. casevitzi, which was described as a Corsican endemic, but occurs in mainland Italy and Sicily too (Seifert & Galkowski, 2016; Schär et al., 2020; Seifert, 2020a). First L. casevitzi Sicilian records were published by Schär et al. (2020), who confirmed the identity of Sicilian specimens by mtDNA comparison with the type colony.
