Teleutomyrmex sp.
Teleutomyrmex Kutter, 1950 is considered here as a separate valid genus, for the reasons explained by Kiran and co-authors (2017) in contrast to the opinion of this genus as a junior synonym of Tetramorium (Ward et al., 2015). A female of one species of this genus was found in a nest Tetramorium caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758) sensu lato. Unfortunately, this specimen has now been lost and it is impossible to determine its exact species identity.
