Lasius mixtus is a species of ant belonging to the family Formicidae.[1]

It is native to Europe and Northern America. It is primarily subterranean and socially parasitic. It can be distinguished from a similar species Lasius umbratus by the lack of erect or suberect hairs on the scapes and tibiae, and lower petiolar apex.[1]
