Pohl, HLMD-Hym-2083. -Yemen, Samha Island: spms from coastal area, 15.II.1999, W. Wranik, CWWR. Remarks: This species is distinguished from M. destructor only by the evenly dark colour in all individuals. The Socotran samples are of single or few specimens, and a few individuals thus coloured are present in larger M. destructor nest samples. It is hence possible that the M. mayri records from Socotra in fact refer to M. destructor, or even that these species are really synonymous. A study on more samples of different provenance will be necessary to clarify the situation. Records of M. mayri originate generally from the same geographical areas as those of M. destructor, though M. mayri has been collected more commonly in the northern Ethiopian Region.
