Leptothorax recedens is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. It is found in France, Italy, and Spain, with the most recent finding in Slovenia[2].
In his 2003 revision of the Formicidae family, Bolton placed this species in the genus Temnothorax[3], although many authors still use the original clasification.
[edit] Conservation status
It is the only IUCN evaluated hymenopteran species listed as "Least concern", although its status hasn't been re-evaluated at least since 2000.
