It is the second species of Lepisiota introduced in the archipelago in the last few years, and one of the few documented cases in which <em>Lepisiota frauenfeld</em>i (Mayr, 1855) s.l. acts as a successful tramp species. Comments are also given on taxonomic problems involving the <em>L. frauenfeldi</em>-group and related taxa. Finally, new additional information and comments are presented on the distribution of other alien ants species from the Canary Islands [<em>Lasius neglectu</em>s Van Loon, Boomsma & Andrásfalvy, 1990, <em>Lepisiota capensis</em> (Mayr, 1862) and <em>Paratrechina longicornis</em> (Latreille, 1802)].}, number={1}, journal={Fragmenta entomologica}, author={Schifani, Enrico and Gentile, Vincenzo and Scupola, Antonio and Espadaler, Xavier}, year={2018}, month={Jun.}, pages={61–64} }
