“…They list 110 species and also give a full reference list. More recent records are those of Seifert and Schulz (2009), Paknia, Radchenko, and Pfeiffer (2010), Radchenko and Paknia (2010), Agosti (2011), Nezhad, Rad, Firouzi, andAgosti (2012) and Kiran, Alipanah, and Paknia (2013). We report here new ant material from two hitherto unsampled areas of Iran, the north eastern province of Khorasan Razavi and the north western Zanjan Province.…”

The results of ant collecting in two hitherto unsampled areas of Iran, the north eastern province of Khorasan Razavi and the north western Zanjan Province are reported. Both areas fall within lacunae of knowledge on previous distribution. Species previously not known from Iran are Aphaenogaster holtzi, Camponotus (Myrmentoma) rebeccae, Cataglyphis albicans, Cataglyphis rockingeri, Lasius himalayanus and Proformica ferreri.

26! 27! Aim. The standard latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), in which species richness 28! decreases from equator to pole, is a pervasive pattern observed in most groups of 29! organisms. Despite its commonness, an increasing number of non-conforming 30! lineages have been identified, presenting a challenge for general explanations of the 31! standard LDG. Although problematic, documenting and studying these contrarian 32! groups can help us to better understand LDGs generally. To that end we identify the 33! ant tribe Stenammini, a diverse lineage with over 400 species, as a contrarian clade, 34! and we attempt to explain the group's atypical diversity pattern using a historical 35! approach. We evaluate the following alternative hypotheses: time-for-36! speciation/center-of-origin (TFS/COO), niche conservatism, and differences in 37! diversification rate. 38! 39! Location. Global. 40! 41!Methods. We examine the shape of the LDG in Stenammini by plotting latitudinal 42! midpoints for all extant species. We then infer a robust phylogeny using a 43! phylogenomic approach that employs ultraconserved element loci and we use the 44! phylogeny to estimate divergence dates, biogeographic history, and ancestral habitats. 45!We also test for diversification rate heterogeneity across the tree and among lineages 46! within the tribe. 47! 48!

“…Schulz (1994) proposed the division of some west Palearctic taxa of Aphaenogaster into species groups. Since then, several taxonomists introduced new species groups or redefined those proposed by Schulz (1994) (e.g., Kiran et al 2008, Boer 2013, Borowiec and Salata 2014, Salata and Borowiec 2018, Alicata and Schifani 2019). One of the most characteristic and easily distinguished group is formed by taxa defined by Schulz (1994) as the Aphaenogastersubterranea species group.…”

Aphaenogasterillyricasp. nov., a member of the A.subterranea species group, is described from Dinaric Alps of Slovenia and Croatia, from Golešnica Mt. in north Macedonia, Osogovo-Belasica Massif of southwestern Bulgaria, and from Kerkini Mts. of Greek Macedonia. It is characterised by large body size, moderately sculptured head, elevated mesonotum, and long propodeal spines. Its habitat preferences are discussed. A key to the Aphaenogastergraeca complex is provided.
