Formica lemani is an ant species that is similar to Formica fusca.[1] The species was not formally distinguished as being different from Formica fusca until 1917,[2] and was not clearly described until 1954.[3]

This species of ant is found throughout most of Europe, and parts of Asia.[1] They are most fond of the northern mountainous forests, as they are adapted to cooler temperatures.[4] They inhabit the coniferous forests in those regions.[5]
