Cataglyphis minima Collingwood, 1985 (Fig. 5 a, b) Cataglyphis minima Collingwood, 1985: 289. Currently, C. minima appears to have a more restricted distribution in the Arabian Peninsula than other species of the genus. It was originally described from Saudi Arabia and recorded from UAE (Tigar and Collingwood, 1993). At Rawdhat Khorim, C. minima has an abundance and foraging behavior similar to C. niger.Published as part of Sharaf, Mostafa R., Abdel-Dayem, Mahmoud S., Al Dhafer, Hathal M. & Aldawood, Abdulrahman S., 2013, The ants (Hymenoptera: formicidae) of Rawdhat Khorim Nature Preserve, Saudi Arabia, with description of a new species of the genus Tetramorium Mayr, pp. 565-580 in Zootaxa 3709 (6) on page 572, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3709.6.6, http://zenodo.org/record/630001
