چکیده
Crematogaster (Crematogaster) jehovaevar.cypria Santschi, 1930 is raised to species rank. Two new, related species are described from the north-eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin: Crematogaster (Crematogaster) erectepilosasp. n. (Dodecanese, Greece) and Crematogaster (Crematogaster) gullukdagensissp. n. (Antalya Prov., Turkey). These three species are well distinguished from other species of the subgenus Crematogaster of the north-eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin in their first gastral tergite bearing numerous erect setae. Colour photographs of all taxa are provided, a key to the species of Crematogastercypria group and species groups of the Crematogaster s. str. from the north-eastern Mediterranean region are given and a list of Crematogaster s. str. described from this region is provided (see Appendix).

متن کاملA subgeneric revision of Crematogaster and discussion of regional species-groups (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

The species diversity of this genus has been notoriously difficult to manage based upon morphology alone, and former attempts have generated a vaguely defined subgeneric system. I propose an improvement of the previous subgeneric classification and recognize two sub...
