B644C464FFC1FFACFEEBF91EFD71FCB1.taxon	description	1117 R e m a r k s L. platythorax which has distribution in whole Europe including Norway taigas in north and west Siberia, differs morphologically and ecologically from sibling species " L. niger " also known to have distribution from Turkey. Morphologically L. platythorax workers have scarce and long haired clypeus; the erect hairs on antennal scapus are denser and longer; mesopropodeal impression is shallower, sometimes smooth; dorsum of propodeum is more conical; erect hairs of body are relatively more dense and long. Ecologically L. platythorax live in more moistured places and in all types of forests and fogs. They avoid from the areas open and effected by human. However L. niger live in more or less dry habitats, open areas, near cities and show sinantropic tendency, avoid shady, dense forests and fogs (SEIFERT 1991). Our specimen, showing great similarities to SEIFERT’ s original description, was found at 1350 m in dense beech forest and far away from human.	en	Kiran, K., Aktaç, N.

B644C464FFC6FFACFEEBFAD5FBE9F9A0.taxon	description	R e m a r k s: This species, a new record for Turkey, is known middle and north Europe. SEIFERT 1992 reported single specimens showing similarities with L. psammophilus from Turkey but he founded risky to state their existence because of not having nest series and habitat note. That the species exist in Turkey gained certainty with our study. As it is known to be the most dominant species of the sandy areas, it is a suprising result to gaind L. psammophilus from an oak stick in a dense oak forest at 930 m high.	en	Kiran, K., Aktaç, N.

B644C464FFC3FFAAFEEBFA3DFC07FDFB.taxon	description	R e m a r k s: According to some biometric measurements this species is known as P. vindobonensis in an old literature. BERNARD 1968 determined P. vindobonensis as a synonym of P. pygmaea. KUTTER 1977, ARNOL' DI & DLUSSKY 1978 and AGOSTI & COLLINGWOOD 1987 a-b have accepted P. vindobonensis as species level because of the II. funiculus segment is shorter than the III. segment in the workers of this species and 1115 vertex is concave which are different than those are in P. pygmaea. Later, RADCHENKO 1989, 1996 synonymies P. vindobonensis with P. taurica. Our specimens belonging to P. taurica also exhibit comparable similarities. This species has been recorded from the Balkans and Europe, but it was first time reported from Turkey. Nests are found under the stones and bottom of the trees.	en	Kiran, K., Aktaç, N.

Host of the only one worker taken from cultivated olive area couldn’t be found. By expanding the study in the locality, nests of Tetramorium ferox and T. chefketi were found but no parasitic species were found in these nests. New record for Turkey. 1114	en	Kiran, K., Aktaç, N.
