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.en10.3897/zookeys.899.46933info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAegean RegionCarpenter AntsMyrmentomaNew SynonymNiche ModellingTaxonomyTaxonomic RevisionGenusAphaenogasterKeyMembersTurkeyMayrArticle89985107Q3WOS:0005028412000052-s2.0-8507687756231871403Q1
