Zoosystema 42 (18): 285-329. https://doi.org/10.5252/zoosystema2020v42a18. http://zoosystema.com/42/18 ABSTRACT Based on material collected between the years 1988-2015 numerous new province and country records of ants from Turkey are given. A total of 143 ant species were listed of which six: Cataglyphis machmal Radchenko & Arakelian, 1991, Lasius illyricus Zimmerman, 1935, Monomorium barbatulum Mayr, 1877, Myrmica caucasicola Arnol’di, 1934, Temnothorax clypeatus (Mayr, 1853) and Temnothorax rogeri Emery, 1869 are new for Turkish ant fauna. Based on most recent taxonomic data and studies on distributional patterns we also excluded from Turkish ant fauna fi fteen species: Bothriomyrmex corsicus Santschi, 1923, Anoplolepis gracilipes (F. Smith, 1857), Cataglyphis cursor (Fonscolombe, 1846), C. rubra (Forel, 1903), Lasius paralienus Seifert, 1992, Plagiolepis pallescens maura Santschi, 1920, Proformica nasuta (Nylander, 1856), Aphaenogaster semipolita (Nylander, 1856), A. testaceopilosa KEY WORDS (Lucas, 1849), Crematogaster auberti Emery, 1869, C. scutellaris (Oliver, 1792), Solenopsis geminata Entomology, (Fabricius, 1804), Temnothorax nylanderi (Förster, 1850), T. crassispinus (Karavaiev, 1926) and Te - checklist, tramorium semilaeve André, 1883.

Sur la base des données recueillies entre 1988 et 2015, de nombreuses nouvelles signalisations de fourmis de Turquie sont données par provinces et par pays. Au total, 143 espèces de fourmis ont été répertoriées, dont six : Cataglyphis machmal Radchenko & Arakelian, 1991, Lasius illyricus Zimmerman, 1935, Monomorium barbatulum Mayr, 1877, Myrmica caucasicola Arnol’di, 1934, Temnothorax clypeatus (Mayr, 1853) et Temnothorax rogeri Emery, 1869 sont nouvelles pour la faune des fourmis turques. Sur la base des données taxonomiques les plus récentes et des études sur les schémas de distribution, nous avons également exclu quinze espèces de la faune des fourmis turques : Bothriomyrmex corsicus Sants- chi, 1923, Anoplolepis gracilipes (F. Smith, 1857), Cataglyphis cursor (Fonscolombe, 1846), C. rubra (Forel, 1903), Lasius paralienus Seifert, 1992, Plagiolepis pallescens maura Santschi, 1920, Proformica nasuta (Nylander, 1856), Aphaenogaster semipolita (Nylander, 1856), A. testaceopilosa (Lucas, 1849), MOTS CLÉS Crematogaster auberti Emery, 1869, C. scutellaris (Oliver, 1792), Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius, 1804), Entomologie, Temnothorax nylanderi (Förster, 1850), T. crassispinus (Karavaiev, 1926) et Tetramorium semilaeve André, liste, 1883. La position taxonomique et les nouveaux noms d’espèces qui ont été donnés dans les publications faunistique, Turquie, suite à la première liste turque en 2012 sont également discutés. Les données faunistiques disponibles signalisations nouvelles. montrent que la faune des fourmis de Turquie est actuellement représentée par 362 taxons.

INTRODUCTION Specimens ♀ queen; According to the fi rst and the only checklist on Turkish ant ♂ male; ♃ soldier; fauna (Kiran & Karaman 2012), the current number of ☿ worker. ant taxa represented in Turkey is evidently higher than in the neighbouring countries. Th e nearest most diverse ant fauna is that of Greece with 315 species (Salata & Borowiec Symbols 2018b), followed by Iran with more than 250 species (Rad * New record for Turkish ant fauna, et al. 2018; Khalili-Moghadam et al. 2019), Bulgaria with ** New record for Asia. 186 species (Lapeva-Gjonova et al. 2010; Lapeva-Gjonova et al. 2014; Kiran et al. 2017; Borowiec et al. 2019), and RESULTS Georgia with 145 species (Gratiashvili et al. 2010; Salata & Borowiec 2018a). One can explain, at fi rst glance, such a Family FORMICIDAE Latreille, 1809 substantial species number by comparatively larger land Subfamily DOLICHODERINAE Forel, 1878 surface area of the country. But the geographical posi- Genus Dolichoderus Lund, 1831 tion of the country, as a junction point of European and Asian continents, and its latitudinally and longitudinally Dolichoderus quadripunctatus (Linnaeus, 1771) diff erent climatic conditions may also be responsible for the diverse ant fauna. On the other hand, the high species Formica quadripunctata Linnaeus, 1771: 541. number does not mean that Turkey has been thoroughly MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Turkey • 18 ☿ ; Bilecik, Bozüyük, Varyüzü investigated with intense faunal studies.
