Comments: Although Aras & Aktaç (1990) and Aktaç et al. (1994) recorded this species from the European part of Turkey (Thrace), the material is misidentified and belongs to A. epirotes. Radchenko (2007) also recorded A.
obsidiana from Thrace but his record is based on the previously recorded material of Aras & Aktaç (1990) and Aktaç et al. (1994). Therefore, this species is known only from Anatolia. Its distribution in the European part of Turkey is removed.

Monomorium sommieri Emery, 1908
as Monomorium salomonis subsp. sommieri: Asia Minor (Baroni Urbani 1971).
Comments: According to Baroni Urbani (1971), this species is distributed in nearly all of the Mediterranean region, in equatorial and austral Africa, in Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and in India and Burma. The type locality is Tunisia. Baroni Urbani's locality “ Asia Minor ” is not based on any Turkish material and no other record has been reported from Turkey. Therefore, the existence of this species in Turkey is doubtful.

Myrmica bergi Ruzsky, 1902: [59] (Aktaç 1976).
Comments: This species is distributed in the Steppe Zone from the delta of the Danube River to Altai Mts., Transcaucasus, NE Iran, and the plains and mountains of Middle Asia (Radchenko & Elmes 2010). Therefore this record is doubtful for Turkey.

Considering the geographical position of Turkey, old records referring to T. nylanderi may also be relevant to T. crassispinus (or even some other species) and require further investigation.
