Formicoma hispanica Motschulsky, 1859, Formicomus rubidus Reitter, 1878, F.
thomsoni Pic, 1901 and F. tinctus Reitter, 1889 as junior synonyms of A.
pedestris (Rossi, 1790), and F. phymopes Bonadona, 1964 as a junior synonym of
A. nemrod (LaFerté-Sénectère, 1849). A lectotype is designated for
Formicomus pegasus Reitter, 1892.
