Many faunistic studies on the myrmecofauna of Bulgaria have been carried out, and about
180 ant species (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from 43 genera and 6 subfamilies have been
discovered as a result. Although the Bulgarian ant fauna is considered to be relatively well
studied, the finding of unrecorded species continues, especially among the rare social
parasites and the species with a more southern distribution in the Balkans.

The current study presents data on 11 ant species recorded for the first time in Bulgaria (
Messor hellenius Agosti & Collingwood, 1987, M. mcarthuri Steiner et al., 2018,
Crematogaster ionia Forel, 1911, Monomorium monomorium Bolton, 1987, Temnothorax
aeolius (Forel, 1911), T. cf. exilis (form darii Forel, 1911), T. finzii (Menozzi, 1925), T. rogeri
Emery, 1869, Tetramorium cf. punicum, Plagiolepis xene Stärcke, 1936 and Lasius reginae
Faber, 1967), as well as new locality data on 15 rarely found species. Some of the species,
such as Hypoponera eduardi, Strumigenys argiola, Temnothorax graecus, Tetramorium
diomedeum, Camponotus tergestinus, and C. ionius, have been known so far only from a
single locality in Bulgaria.
The dataset of all records presented in this work was published separately through Global
Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, https://doi.org/10.15468/mngbzp).
