description

AbstractThe Romanian ant fauna is poorly known. It seems that many cryptic and parasitic species are missing from the checklist, including species with their ranges primarily outside of the Mediterranean. Herein,Strumigenys argiola(Emery, 1869) is a newly recorded species for the ant fauna of Romania, one male being collected in North–Eastern Romania.Strumigenys argiolalives in the soil, and hunts for small arthropods. For the time being, a total of 112 ant species are known from Romania.
