  • [Also described as new by Heer, 1850: 130.]
  • Combination in Lasius: Bolton, 1995b: 224.
  • Combination in Formica: Dlussky & Putyatina, 2014: 254.
  • [Note: †redtenbacheri referred to Lasius by Mayr, 1867b: 54; hence its subspecies †neutra followed (Bolton, 1995b: 224). Later, †redtenbacheri recombined in Formica.]
  • Subspecies of †redtenbacheri: Dalla Torre, 1893: 191.
