Abstract
Linepithema humile (Mayr, 1868), commonly known as the Argentine ant, qualifies as one of the '100 of the world's worst invasive alien species'. Tapinoma nigerrimum (Nylander, 1856), commonly known as the odorous ant, is native to the Mediterranean coast and has parapatric distribution with the invading L. humile.
