Description of two new Temnothorax species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Italy

Zusammenfassung

We describe two species of the ant genus Temnothorax: T. alienus nov. spec. and T. saxatilis nov. spec. Both new species are endemic to middle and southern Italy. We characterize the two species and compare them to similar Temnothorax from Italy and the Western Palaearctic.
