    REVIEW OF THE APHAENOGASTER SPLENDIDA SPECIES-GROUP (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE)
    (Museum & Inst Zoology Pas-Polish Acad Sciences, 2021) Salata, Sebastian; Karaman, Celal; Kiran, Kadri; Borowiec, Lech
    Members of the Aphaenogaster splendida group are reviewed. We recognize 12 species, of which three are new: A. hamaensis sp. nov. (Syria), A. peloponnesiaca sp. nov. (continental Greece), and A. vohraliki sp. nov. (Turkey). Species status is restored for Aphaenogaster schmitzi Forel, 1910 stat. rev., and Aphaenogaster transcaucasica Karavaiev, 1926 stat. nov. is raised to the species rank. Aphaenogaster schmitzi Forel, 1910 is recognized as a senior synonym of Aphaenogaster schmitzi syria Forel, 1910 syn. nov. and Aphaenogaster ovaticeps Emery, 1898 is recognizes as a senior synonym of Aphaenogaster muelleriana Wolf, 1915 syn. nov. Detailed descriptions, measurements, habitat and nesting preferences, and activity of workers of all 12 species are given. Keys to workers and known gynes, and photographs of all species and their known castes are presented.

    Review of the Camponotus kiesenwetteri group (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in the Aegean with the description of a new species
    (Pensoft Publishers, 2019) Salata, Sebastian; Loss, Ana Carolina; Karaman, Celal; Kiran, Kadri; Borowiec, Lech
    Based on recently collected material, the Camponotus kiesenwetteri group is redefined, and its members known from the Aegean region are diagnosed. Camponotus schuki sp. nov. is described from Izmir Province, Turkey. Camponotus nadimi Tohme, 1969 syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of Camponotus libanicus Andre, 1881 and Camponotus kiesenwetteri cyprius Emery, 1920 syn. nov. as a junior synonym of Camponotus kiesenwetteri (Roger, 1859). A key to workers of species of the C. kiesenwetteri group is provided. Niche modeling analyses are used to account for species habitat suitability across the Aegean region.

    Revisiting the morphological species groups of West-Palearctic Aphaenogaster ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) under a phylogenetic perspective: toward an evolutionary classification
    (Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen Dresden, Museum Tierkunde, 2022) Schifani, Enrico; Alicata, Antonio; Menchetti, Mattia; Borowiec, Lech; Fisher, Brian L.; Karaman, Celal; Kiran, Kadri
    The West-Palearctic region is a diversity hotspot for the ant genus Aphaenogaster. Species in this region are characterized by high morphological variation, which has led to their subdivision into different infrageneric groups. The very first classification in three subgenera, dated 1915, was gradually replaced by eight species-groups. To probe the evolutionary consistency of these species-groups, we sequenced 46 species from all eight species-groups and biogeographic sectors of the region, using one mitochondrial (COI) and six nuclear markers (EPICs), and interpreted the results by integrating qualitative morphology. Our results demonstrate the non-monophyly of all formerly recognized subgenera and species-groups, except for the crocea group. We use the phylogeny and morphological characters to propose a new classification of six monophyletic species-groups (crocea, gibbosa, graeca, pallida, sardoa, subterranea). The pallida, subterranea and sardoa (formerly testaceopilosa) groups attain monophyletic status by reassigning a few taxa. The gibbosa group is to be considered exclusively Western-Mediterranean until further assessments of similar Eastern species. The new graeca group is established by including former members of the splendida and subterranea groups, while the polyphyletic cecconii, obsidiana, and splendida groups are dismissed. Notably, the first is not part of the tropical Deromyrma clade as previously thought, while at least two independent clades which require further investigation are composed of species from both the cecconii and splendida groups, suggesting repeated morphological convergences based on similar ecological adaptations. -Finally, A. cardenai is confirmed to be a significantly divergent lineage. In addition, three Aphaenogaster species are moved to different genera: Messor asmaae (Sharaf, 2018) comb. nov., Messor isekram (Bernard, 1977) comb. nov., and Pheidole sarae (Sharaf, 2018) comb. nov. Further studies should address the evolutionary relationships between the clades recovered in this study.

    Survey of the ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Greek Thrace
    (Pensoft Publishers, 2016) Bracko, Gregor; Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal; Salata, Sebastian; Borowiec, Lech
    Background The ant fauna of Greek Thrace has been least known of all Greek regions with only 12 species mentioned in the literature. We conducted two field trips to this region in 2014 and 2015 and included some unpublished ant material, thus compiling new records from 72 sampling localities. New information We found 115 ant species, 108 of them are recorded for the first time in Greek Thrace. Cataglyphis viaticoides, Temnothorax aeolius, Tetramorium cf. davidi, Tetramorium hippocratis, and Tetramorium rhodium were so far not known for continental Greece. In the checklist of recorded species, we also give information on the taxonomic status and distribution of certain taxa.
