• [Note: the decisions by Seifert, 2007, and Seifert & Schultz, 2009b, render all earlier taxonomy untenable, and left the previous junior synonyms of Formica glauca in taxonomic limbo. The inclusion of Formica glauca as a species-rank taxon in the Bulgaria catalogue of Lapeva-Gjonova et al., 2010 is not considered to be a statement of change in taxonomic rank, but the resurrection by Radchenko, 2016: 304-306, achieves this purpose.]
