A comprehensive list of the ants of Romania ( Hymenoptera : Formicidae ) 1
Abstract
The present work lists all species mentioned in publications up to 2006. To date, 103 valid species were recorded in the Romanian fauna, including 102 outdoor species. Camponotus sylvaticus, Cardiocondyla elegans, Cataglyphis cursor, Cataglyphis viaticus, Crematogaster scutellaris, Lasius lasioides, Messor barbarus, Stenamma striatulum, Temnothorax luteus, Tetramorium caespitum, & Tetramorium impurum are of uncertain occurrence in Romania. Lasius transylvanicus & Tetramorium caespitum var. flavidula cannot be assigned to existing valid species. The comparison of Romanian, Central European, & Eastern European myrmecofaunas reveals that the Romanian fauna is insufficiently known & that a considerable number of species (mostly parasitic & Mediterranean) remain to be detected.
