Material: 94, 125, 128, 206, 255.

Genus: Pheidole Westwood, 1839

Material: 6, 10, 17, 24, 32, 38, 39, 40, 52, 57, 59, 62, 66, 75, 77, 85, 88, 89, 95, 98, 103, 107, 109, 117, 118, 119, 132, 137, 154, 161, 176, 182, 186, 194, 200, 203, 205, 209, 213, 215, 217, 220, 223, 224, 226, 228, 230, 239, 244, 246, 249,

Comments: Seifert (2016) divided the hyper-diverse species P. pallidula (Nylander) to four species recently: North African P. cicatricosa Stitz, 1917 , and Euroasian three other species P. pallidula , P. balcanica Seifert, 2016 and P. koshewnikovi Ruzsky, 1905 . Since there exist no morphologicaldifferencesbetweenspeciesofthe P.pallidula complex, except for NUMOBAT (numeric morphology-based alpha-taxonomy), we gave our specimens as P. cf. pallidula at the moment. According to the distribution data noted in Seifert’s (2016) paper Anatolian populations should belong to P. koshewnikovi Ruzsky, 1905 .

Genus: Solenopsis Westwood, 1840

Solenopsis cf. lusitanica / fugax

Material: 6, 9, 17, 20, 21, 29, 31, 42, 47, 49, 50, 62, 64, 66, 68, 72, 73, 79, 80, 82, 84, 85, 88, 91, 97, 102, 111, 121, 123, 124, 126, 131, 135, 140, 141, 146, 150, 159, 165, 169, 170, 173, 182, 184, 189, 194, 196, 199, 213, 214, 215, 216, 224, 225, 232, 236, 242, 261, 262, 264, 266, 268, 272, 280, 284, 286, 287, 290, 300, 308, 310, 316, 324, 330, 336, 339, 346, 347, 348, 350, 352, 357, 360, 361, 363, 366, 368, 369, 372, 373, 374, 375, 377, 381.

Comments: Galkowski et al. (2010) indicated in their paper on redescription of S. fugax (Latreille, 1798) that S. fugax species group distributed in Europe and Mediterranean region comprises four distinct species and they propose to study on this species group in the future. Bračko et al. (2016) mentioned that in Greece S. fugax is less common than S. cf. lusitanica which dominated lowland and warm areas in the country. On the other hand, both species complexes have several taxa of uncertain status ( Bračko et al., 2016). Therefore, the material is given here as common to both taxa complexes until taxonomical chaos solved.

Genus: Stenamma Westwood, 1839

Stenamma debile (Foerster, 1850)

Material: 122, 135, 232, 351, 353, 369.

Genus: Strongylognathus Mayr, 1853

Strongylognathus huberi Forel, 1874

Material: 1.

Comments: Strongylognathus huberi species complex is characterised by straight occipital margin of head. This species complex represented by 7 taxa ( S. alpinus Wheeler, 1909 , S. christophi Emery, 1889 , S. huberi , S. huberi subsp. dalmaticus Baroni Urbani, 1969 , S. kervillei Santschi, 1921 , S. rehbinderi Forel, 1904 and S. silvestrii Menozzi, 1936 ). It appears that this record given here represented easternmost record according to distributional pattern of S. huberi . Although the studied material well distinguished within the species complex, this species complex required revison based on genetic aspect at least in Turkey.
