SUMMARY
From Seifert, 2003 [1]
Myrmica pelops is a sister species of ravasinii as indicated by basic scape architecture, the block—shaped petiole profile with a short peduncle, long spines, big size, and strong petiolar rugosity. There are no detailed records on the habitat of M.pelops. However, Andreas Schulz stated the M. pelops sites to be distributed in a zone of very light, degraded, and extensively used coniferous forests. Nowhere in this region he found dense woodland.
