Lasius psammophilus SEIFERT 1992

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: 57, 35ºº.

R e m a r k s: This species, a new record for Turkey, is known middle and north Europe. SEIFERT 1992 reported single specimens showing similarities with L. psammophilus from Turkey but he founded risky to state their existence because of not having nest series and habitat note. That the species exist in Turkey gained certainty with our study. As it is known to be the most dominant species of the sandy areas, it is a suprising result to gaind L. psammophilus from an oak stick in a dense oak forest at 930m high.
