Özet

The measurements given by Taylor in his monographic revision of the genus Ponera, suggest that Ponera coarctata (Latreille, 1802) workers are more than twice as large as queens. This conflicts with anecdotal observations of several authors. Therefore the standard measurements and indices of both workers and queens of Ponera coarctata collected from various sites within the European part of Turkey in the Thrace region, Britain, France and Spain were investigated. Queens were, as expected, larger than the workers, indicating that Taylor's data are probably a result of miscalculation.
