Lasius austriacus

Size and colouration are similar. L. austriacus has a single nest queen, smaller relative eye size in workers, and is not invasive.
Lasius turcicus

L. turcicus is a 'king size' version of L. neglectus. But for a bigger worker and queen size and monogyny (=a single nest queen), both species are very similar. L. neglectus could be a recent evolutionary offshot of L. turcicus.
