IOAN TĂUȘAN, BIANCA ELENA TEODORESCU
Abstract:
The paper presents both new and published data on 38 ant species belonging to three subfamilies Formicinae, Dolichoderinae and Myrmicinae. Most of the species are common for the Romanian ant fauna. However, we highlight the presence of Camponotus tergestinus, Crematogaster schmidti and Pheidole pallidula. Camponotus tergestinus is a rare species, which was known only from few locations. Until now, Crematogaster schmiditi was known only from Băile Herculane area whereas Pheidole pallidula was previously recorded from Baziaş more than 100 years ago. Insights regarding their biology and Romanian distribution is given.
