Specimen Labels

M. bouvieri is less polymorphic than other common, co-occuring, Messor species and lacks the largest major workers found in these other species. In a Catalonia study in NE Spain, there were three common and active Messor species found: 13 nests of Messor barbarus, 27 nests of M. bouvieri and 55 nests of Messor erwini. The habitat was an open and heterogeneous shrubland located in Castellbell i el Vilar, Barcelona (central Catalonia, northeast Spain, 41° 39′ N, 1° 51’ E, Fig. 1), at 260 m above sea level, where the climate is typically Mediterranean, and with a mean annual temperature of 14.5 °C and a mean annual precipitation of 565 mm. The vegetation type was the consequence of recurring fires in a Pinus halepensis (Mill.) forest. The pine forest did not recover after the last fire in 2003, and the area remained open. The fieldwork was conducted between 2018 and 2019, and vegetation consisted of alternating bare soil areas, grassland areas dominated by Brachypodium phoenicoides (L.) Roem. & Schult., Brachypodium retusum (Pers.) P.Beauv., and Aphyllantes monspelienses L., and areas with small (Thymus vulgaris L., Coronilla minima L.) and large-sized shrubs (Pistacea lentiscus L., Rosmarinus officinalis L., Dorycnium pentaphyllum Scop.). The study plot of about 6000 m2 was located on a 10° southwest facing slope. (Orou et al. 2023)

Head: Ground surface smooth, or shagreened. Head of minor workers often without rugae and rugulae; in major workers rugae and rugulaeon head dorsum and postocular sides absent or inconspicuous, ground surface shagreened, dull, sides, genae, and frontal carinae feebly rugulose. Surface around the antennal sockets with concentric rugulae. Anterior clypeal border edentate. Clypeus irregularly sculptured, rugulose, or roguloso-reticulate, ground surface shagreened, dull. Median clypeal costa absent. Frontal triangle longitudinally feebly costulate, ground surface between costulae smooth, or shagreened.
