Abstract

From the last review of the ant fauna of Croatia (Bračko, 2006), three species and one genus of ants have been recorded for Croatia: Camponotus tergestinus Müller, 1921; Lasius citrinus Emery, 1922; and Proformica pilosiscapa Dlussky, 1969. Finding of the latter represents not just the first record of the genus Proformica Ruzsky, 1902 for Croatia, but also for the broader area of the neighboring countries. Here, we present data on the distribution and biology of
all three species. The number of recorded species for Croatia is now 143.
