Comment. The genus Hallodapus Fieber, 1858 is represented by two species in Turkey: H. suturalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1839) and H. pseudoconcolor (Linnavuori, 1984). While the former is widely distributed in the West Palaearctic Region, the latter is only known from Iraq and the South East of Turkey (MATOCQ et al. 2014). Hallodapus concolor Reuter, 1890 is distributed in tropical Africa from Cameroon to Sudan and in Asia from Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan all the way to Kirghizia and in Europe only in Crete (Greece) (KERZHNER & JOSIFOV 1999). This species was observed to live on low grass vegetation in dry sandy areas (LINNAVUORI 1996). Hallodapus concolor (Figs 8A, B) is most similar to H. pseudoconcolor but differs from it in the shape of the left paramere and theca (see LINNAVUORI 1984).

Material examined. TURKEY: BITLIS: 233 4♀♀, 12.vi.1976, on Umbellifera sp., F. Önder leg., B. Çerçi det. (LEMT).
Comment. Maurodactylus Reuter, 1878 is a small genus with six species described so far (KERZHNER & JOSIFOV 1999). Among them Maurodactylus kukuensis V. G. Putshkov, 1978 and Maurodactylus acanthophylli V. G. Putshkov, 1980 are the only two species with dark dorsal vestiture (V. G. PUTSHKOV 1978a, 1980). These two species can be easily distinguished from each other by the coloration of antennae which is uniformly black in both sexes of M. kukuensis and uniformly pale in both sexes of M. acanthophylli. The specimens we examined perfectly fit the description and illustrations of M. kukuensis morphologically but there is an important point to be noted about the male genitalia of our specimens. The apex of vesica of the specimens we examined is bifid unlike the illustration of the vesica of M. kukuensis in the original publication which has a long and sharp single tip (V. G. PUTSHKOV1978a). This difference in the vesica either indicates that the apical part of the vesica is variable in different populations or that the illustrations of V. G. Putshkov are incorrect. Maurodactylus kukuensis was originally described to be associated with the plant Grammosciadium platycarpum (Apiaceae) (V. G. PUTSHKOV1978a). Specimens we examined were collected from an undetermined plant species belonging to the family Apiaceae. Maurodactylus kukuensis was described from Shakhbuz District of Nakhchivan Republic, Azerbaijan, and was only known from its type locality until now.
Distribution in Turkey. Bitlis (this work).

(Fig. 4D)
Material examined. TURKEY: ANTALYA: Merkez, 17.v.1986,333 4♀♀, on Genista sp., F. Önder leg., B. Çerçi det. (LEMT).
Comment. The genus Platycranus Fieber, 1870 consists of green and broad headed species which are strictly associated with Genista spp. In Turkish fauna, Platycranus is represented by five species: P. erberi Fieber, 1870, P. putoni Reuter, 1879, P. remanei Wagner, 1955, P. genistae Lindberg, 1948, and P. bicolor (Douglas & Scott, 1868) (ÖNDER et al. 2006). While the first two species belong to the subgenus Platycranus s. str., the other three species belong to the subgenus Genistocapsus Wagner, 1956 which is identified by the long labium reaching at least the middle coxae (KNYSHOV & KONSTANTINOV 2013). Platycranus alkestis Lınnavuori, 1999 was originally described from the island of Rhodes and was known only from its type locality up to now. This species can be distinguished from other species of its subgenus by relatively long first antennal segment (0.7× as long as width of head) and brown colored pronotum and scutellum (KNYSHOV & KONSTANTINOV 2013). The specimens we examined have paler coloration with scutellum being pale brown and pronotum being yellowish to green (Fig. 4D).
Distribution in Turkey. Antalya (this work).

Collection circumstances. On Ficus sp., attracted to light trap as well.
Comment. Zanchius is a very diverse genus with most species distributed in tropical Africa and the East Palaearctic Region (LINNAVUORI 1994b, KERZHNER & JOSIFOV 1999). Zanchius alatanus Hoberlandt, 1956, described from Turkey (Mersin: Alata), was considered the single representative of this genus in Turkey. Zanchius breviceps was originally described from Egypt (WAGNER 1951). Later it was discovered to occur in tropical Africa from Nigeria to Eritrea, in most parts of the Middle East, in Cyprus and Crete (KERZHNER & JOSIFOV 1999). It was reported to be associated with Trichilia emetica (Meliaceae) (LINNAVUORI 1975), Abutilon sp., Gossypium sp. (both Malvaceae) (LINNAVUORI 1994b), and Calotropis procera (Apocynaceae) (LINNAVUORI 2009). Recently, this species was discovered in Malta associated with a new plant, Ficus sp. (MIFSUD et al. 2012). The first author too observed this species on Ficus sp. in İzmir and Muğla (Figure 5E). They were abundant on every Ficus sp. tree checked in İzmir. This species can be easily distinguished from Z. alatanus by the lack of middle red rings on the second antennal segment.
Distribution in Turkey. İzmir, Muğla (this work).

Material examined: TURKEY: MERSIN: Anamur, 36°02′08.3″N 32°48′31.7″E, 17.vii.2018, 13, Ö. Koçak leg., B. Çerçi det.The specimen was only photographed but not collected.
Comment. Montandoniola moraguesi is an important biological control agent used to fight thrips invasions on economically important crops. It is unique among the Anthocoridae species known from Turkey because of its thrips-like appearance (Fig.11B). It lives inside the galls or gall-like deformations caused by the thrips on which it feeds (PLUOT- SIGWALT et al. 2009). Montandoniola moraguesi is known from the following countries: the Balearic Islands, France, Italy, Spain, the Canary Islands, Israel, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Chad, Sudan, Burkina Faso, and South Africa (PLUOT- SIGWALT et al. 2009). Considering its wide distribution along the Mediterranean coasts, it is possible that this species has a stable population in Mersin, Turkey and was not introduced here by farmers.
Distribution in Turkey. Mersin (this work).

Collection circumstances. It was collected while it was wandering on a rock under a Pyrus sp. (Rosaceae).
Comment. Temnostethus gracilis is a widespread species known from most of Europe, including the Balkans. It is a predacious species known to feed on Sternorrhyncha species. It was observed to live on numerous deciduous tree species such as Malus, Pyrus, Prunus, Crataegus (Rosaceae), Fraxinus (Oleaceae), Quercus, Fagus (Fagaceae), Betula, Corylus (Betulaceae), Acer (Sapindaceae), Salix, Populus (Salicaceae) (PÉRICART 1972). Temnostethus gracilis differs from T. winkelmanni WAGNER, 1961 and T. longirostris (Horváth, 1907) in shorter clypeus and the existence of brachypterous form, from T. pusillus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1835) by pale second antennal segment, and from T. tibialis Reuter, 1888 by much shorter and sparser setae on hemelytra which are almost invisible (Fig. 5G) (PÉRICART 1972).

Collection circumstances. Light trap.
Comment. Plinthisus minutissimus is a very small species which was observed to live inside nests of Formica rufa Linnaeus, 1758 and F. lugubris Zetterstedt, 1838 (= F. congerens Nylander, 1846) (PUTON 1878). However, PÉRICART (1998) mentions that he always collected this species from mosses. The examined specimen belongs to the rare macropterous form. This species has a wide distribution range in southern Europe (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece (Corfu and Crete as well), Italy, Macedonia, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and Switzerland) and North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia) (PÉRICART1998). It is distinguished from other species of its subgenus by its relatively small size, shiny dorsum and castaneous coloration (Fig. 5H) (PÉRICART 1998).
Distribution in Turkey. İzmir (this work).

Camponotus aureopilus

description: [[Camponotus aureopilus species-group]]
Camponotus is the world's largest and most widespread ant genus. It contains over 1500 described species and subspecies (Bolton 1995) and occurs in essentially all terrestrial habitats where ants are found. Individual species range in size from moderately small to large, and from highly abundant and visible to rare and cryptic. The genus is certainly one of nature's great success stories.
The species examined here form a small group of distinctive species limited to Papua New Guinea and neighboring Queensland, Australia. They share a number of characters (see below) suggesting a close relationship, and one of them (C. thadeus, new species) is only the second species in the genus with a metapleural gland. This gland, one of the autapomorphies uniting the family Formicidae, has been lost in a handful of genera (Bolton 2003) including all but two known species of Camponotus (C. gigas and C. thadeus). While C. gigas is morphologically unusual for the genus (and is currently placed in the monotypic subgenus Dinomyrmex (Bolton 1995)), C. thadeus is very similar to the other species considered here, suggesting an independent reversal in the loss of this gland. Clearly a detailed phylogenetic analysis will be required to address this hypothesis critically, an undertaking well outside the current study.
These appear to be rare ants with most species known from very limited material or occurring in very limited geographic areas (in the case of C. thadeus). This currently restricts our ability to assess intraspecific variation as would be possible if additional material were available. However, the characters used in this study are based on those found to be useful in recognizing species of this genus occurring in Australia where extensive collections have been made and intraspecific versus interspecific variation can be assessed in detail (for example, Shattuck and McArthur 2002). A conservative approach has also been taken, with "solid" differences needed for species recognition. It is hoped that these factors will combine to provide a solid foundation for the taxonomy of these ants. Having said that, it is extremely likely that this study represents only a small fraction of the taxa occurring in this species-group and additional collecting in Papua New Guinea and eastern Indonesia will undoubtedly reveal many more species.

Camponotus (Myrmophyma) aureopilus var. velutina Stitz 1938: 120. Two worker syntypes from north-eastern Papua New Guinea (specific locality unknown) (not examined). New synonym.
Diagnosis (minor worker). Enlarged hairs absent from pronotum (but thin erect hairs present); enlarged hairs on gaster limited to a small central cluster.
Description (minor worker). Posterolateral margin of head angular, the dorsal surface weakly convex, the lateral surface weakly concave, a ridge running from just below the eye to the posterolateral corner. Petiolar node tapering dorsally into a blunt angle. Individual erect hairs scattered on dorsum of mesosoma, petiole and gaster; enlarged yellow hairs present on central region of the gastral dorsum; pubescence abundant on entire body. Colour black, gaster dark red-black, legs dark red.
Measurements. Minor worker (n=2): CI 92-94, HL 1.80-2.21mm, HW 1.65- 2.08mm, ML 2.78-3.19mm, MTL 2.06-2.25mm, SI 120-139, SL 2.29-2.50mm.
Material Examined. Papua New Guinea: Mt. Lina, Cyclops Mountains, 3,500ft. (Cheesman,L.E.) (LACM).
Comments. Emery (1925) transferred this species from the subgenus Myrmogonia (where it was originally placed) to Myrmophyma, with Santschi (1928) subsequently transferring it to Thlipsepinotus. Unfortunately the subgeneric classification within Camponotus is currently rather confused and subgeneric placements are difficult to assess rigorously. The queen was described by Stitz (1938), but little else is known about this species.
Stitz (1938) described velutinus as a subspecies of aureopilus, citing differences in the shape of the petiolar node to justify his new taxon. However, even with the limited material currently available this difference is slight and there appears to be little justification for recognising this taxon as distinct from aureopilus. Because of this velutinus is here treated as a synonym of aureopilus.

Camponotus (Myrmophyma) cyrtomyrmodes Donisthorpe 1941a: 139. Two worker syntypes and one male syntype from Mafulu, Wharton Range, Papua New Guinea (BMNH, examined).
Diagnosis (minor worker). Dorsum of mesosoma with fewer than 6 scattered hairs and enlarged hairs absent; anterolateral corners of pronotum strongly ridged.
Description (minor worker). Posterolateral margin of head strongly concave with a strong ridge running between the eye and the posterolateral corner, the head widest at this ridge, slightly narrower just above the mandibular insertions and narrowest just below the eyes, the area between the ridges (the upper part of the head behind the eyes) forming an essentially flat surface, this surface extending onto the laterally expanded pronotum and flattened anterior mesonotum to form a single, broad "shield." Antennal scape long. Petiolar node low, block-like, the dorsal surface broadly convex. Pronotum, mesonotum, propodeum and petiole each with 2-4 erect hairs, hairs more abundant on head and gaster, enlarged hairs absent; pubescence present but thin and scattered. Colour red-black with legs yellow-red.
Measurements. Minor worker (n=4): CI 93-98, HL 1.40-1.53mm, HW 1.37- 1.45mm, ML 2.30-2.42mm, MTL 1.64-1.76mm, SI 152-158, SL 2.11-2.20mm.
Material Examined. Papua New Guinea: Northern District: 8km S Kokoda (Taylor, R.W.) (ANIC).
Comments. As noted by Donisthorpe (1941a), the worker of this unusual species superficially resembles species of Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma), especially in the overall shape of the mesosoma. However this shape is also shared by other members of this species-group as well as the apparently unrelated Australian C. postcornutus Clark (Shattuck and McArthur 2002) and is clearly convergent with Polyrhachis.

Diagnosis (minor worker). Enlarged hairs on pronotum present, white and covering the entire dorsal surface; pubescence on dorsum of head abundant and closely spaced.
Description (minor worker). Posterolateral surface of head essentially flat and with a weak angle running between the eye and the posterolateral corner; a slight concavity is present just below this ridge near the posterolateral corner. Antennal scape long, surpassing posterior margin of head by about one-half its length. Petiolar node low, forming a blunt, rounded angle dorsally and with a slight anterior tilt. White erect hairs abundant on pronotum (but not as dense as the enlarged hairs found in other species), those on the mesonotum, propodeum, petiolar node and gaster less abundant but still numerous; appressed pubescence abundant on entire body. Colour black with legs red-brown.
Measurements. Minor worker (n=4): CI 90-92, HL 1.86-1.94mm, HW 1.68- 1.77mm, ML 2.80-2.95mm, MTL 2.13-2.19mm, SI 139-163, SL 2.40-2.47mm.
Material Examined. Papua New Guinea: Northern District: Managalase plateau, ca. 30mi S Popondetta (Pullen,R.) (ANIC).
Comments. This species is similar to C. thadeus but differs in the colour of the erect body hairs and the abundant pubescence (the hairs are yellow and the pubescence sparse in thadeus) as well as in lacking the metapleural gland. It is so far known from only a limited number of collections, all from Papua New Guinea.
