• Combination in Lasius: Emery, 1893m: 183.
• As unavailable (infrasubspecific) name: Ruzsky, 1905b: 313; Emery, 1916a: 241.
• Subspecies of Lasius brunneus: Emery, 1893m: 183; Ruzsky, 1902d: 17; Forel, 1915d: 53 (in key); Soudek, 1922b: 71; Emery, 1925d: 229; Stärcke, 1926a: 124 (in key); Novák & Sadil, 1941: 101 (in key); Stärcke, 1944b: 157 (in key).
• Unidentifiable taxon; incertae sedis in Lasius: Seifert, 1992b: 48; Czechowski et al., 2002: 104.
• [Note: as the taxa Lasius brunneus and Lasius pallida were both described by Latreille, and their early synonymy was also established by Latreille, it seems reasonable to accept the synonymy (Bolton, 1995b: 225; Seifert, 2020a: 47).]
• Junior synonym of Lasius brunneus: Latreille, 1802a: 169; Stephens, 1829b: 357; Smith, 1851: 2; Wilson, 1955a: 47; Bernard, 1967a: 358; Pisarski, 1975: 33; Arakelian, 1994: 118; Bolton, 1995b: 225; Czechowski et al., 2012: 261; Seifert, 2020a: 47.
