081D4F46FFF6501DFD15FB593011FCE6.taxon	distribution	Distribution note. This species is distributed in the Eastern part of the Palaearctic Region and was noted from China, Japan, and South Korea (Terayama 1999). Surprisingly, recently it was recorded from Israel by Ionescu-Hirsch (2010 [2009]) based on three workers introduced to Ashod Port transported with bamboo from China. There is no further information as to whether this species is permanently established in Israel. In 2012, one of the authors (L. Borowiec) collected this species in natural habitats in the Cedar Valley of Cyprus (NATURA 2000 site: CY 2000008) which would indicate a permanent settlement of this species in the Eastern part of the Mediterranean basin. Below we provide a detailed redescription of this species based on specimens from Cyprus to enable a proper identification of this species in the future. Note. The presented diagnosis and redescription are based on Cypriot specimens that belong to the bicolored form of this species. They do not include the entirely black form of this species known from territories of its native range (see AntWeb. org, CASENT 0923671).	en	Salata, Sebastian, Demetriou, Jakovos, Georgiadis, Christos, Borowiec, Lech (2023): Camponotus Mayr, 1861 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Cyprus: generic synopsis and description of a new species.

081D4F46FFF6501DFD15FB593011FCE6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Camponotus vitiosus is the only member of the subgenus Myrmamblys known from the Mediterranean but it might be confused with several species of the subgenus Myrmentoma known from this region. Camponotus vitiosus groups with species characterized by the presence of overall fine body sculpture with shiny at least gaster and mesosoma, regularly convex promesonotal dorsum, and lack of metanotal groove. In the Eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin, this group consists of: C. abrahami Forel, 1913, C. fallax (Nylander, 1856), C. gestroi Emery, 1878, C. kurdistanicus Emery, 1898, C. tergestinus Müller, 1921, and C. vogti Forel, 1906. Camponotus abrahami and C. gestroi well differ in entirely black body coloration and well-marked metanotal suture. Camponotus fallax differs in lack of erect setae on gena, usually presence of a shallow median emargination on the anterior margin of the clypeus, and predominantly brown body, sometimes with yellowish pronotum. Camponotus tergestinus differs in predominantly brown to black body coloration, presence of erect setae on antennal scapus, and a larger body with HL above 1.90 mm (mean 2.28). Camponotus kurdistanicus differs in distinctly bicolored body, with dark-brown to black head and gaster and mostly red mesosoma, flat propodeal dorsum.	en	Salata, Sebastian, Demetriou, Jakovos, Georgiadis, Christos, Borowiec, Lech (2023): Camponotus Mayr, 1861 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Cyprus: generic synopsis and description of a new species.

Biological notes. The only two specimens (worker and gyne) were collected in 2012 under a moderate-sized stone in mixed cedar and pine forest in the famous refuge of Cypriot cedar Cedrus brevifolia (Hook. f.) A. Henry named Cedar Valley, at an altitude of 1196 m. During the expedition in 2022, the area was thoroughly penetrated again, but no more specimens were found. Also, this species has not been found at other sites in the surrounding cedar and pine forests. Therefore, its habitat requirements are hard to interpret. The find of just a worker and gyne in 2012 may indicate an initial colony or the temporary residence of two individuals from an abandoned colony.	en	Salata, Sebastian, Demetriou, Jakovos, Georgiadis, Christos, Borowiec, Lech (2023): Camponotus Mayr, 1861 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Cyprus: generic synopsis and description of a new species.

081D4F46FFF3501FFD2DFD3937DBFA66.taxon	discussion	Comment Camponotus kiesenwetteri var. cypria Emery, 1920 was recently synonymized with Camponotus kiesenwetteri (Roger, 1859) by Salata et al. (2019). However, the reexamination of the syntype worker preserved in Genoa Museum showed that the specimen bears characteristics typical for C. libanicus (regularly arched mesosoma in lateral with almost absent metanotal groove, black gaster, and thick petiolar scale). Additionally, the material recently collected in Cyprus confirmed that the only representative of the kiesenwetteri group present on the island is C. libanicus. Thus, considering the morphological and geographical evidence, we consider Camponotus kiesenwetteri cypria a junior synonym of C. libanicus.	en	Salata, Sebastian, Demetriou, Jakovos, Georgiadis, Christos, Borowiec, Lech (2023): Camponotus Mayr, 1861 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Cyprus: generic synopsis and description of a new species.

081D4F46FFED500BFF51FA993757F9E6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. A member of the subgenus Tanaemyrmex. It belongs to the complex of large species with very large major workers with a deeply emarginate occipital part of head and scapus, and tibiae with only appressed hairs (hairs not suberect as in the samius complex). In the Eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin the complex contains the following species: Camponotus baldaccii Emery, 1908, C. cecconii Emery, 1908, C. fellah Dalla Torre, 1893, C. kugleri Ionescu-Hirsch, 2009, C. oasium Forel, 1890, C. sanctus Forel, 1904, C. sinaiticus Ionescu-Hirsch, 2009, C. thoracicus (Fabricius, 1804) and C. xerxes Forel, 1904. Camponotus oasium, C. sanctus, C. sinaiticus, C. thoracicus and C. xerxes differ in lack of erect setae on the ventral side of head. The rare form of C. sanctus with 1 - 3 short erect setae in the ventral part of the head differs in its larger body size with HL in major workers up to 4.18 mm (mean 4.05 mm) and distinctly depressed outer surface of hind tibiae with a shallow sulcus on almost the entirety of their length in major workers. Camponotus fellah and C. kugleri differ in darker body coloration (with predominantly black major workers) and dull body surface with stronger microsculpture. Camponotus baldaccii differs in its paler color (in minor workers head, mesosoma and first two tergites of gaster yellow), and slightly larger major workers with HL 2.907 - 3.453 (mean 3.253) and WL 3.71 - 4.40. Also, C. baldaccii and C. troodosensis are separated geographically - the first species does not occur in Cyprus. Camponotus cecconii and C. troodosensis are sympatric in Cyprus and very similar, but C. cecconii differs in its completely dark brown to black gastral tergites (only sometimes the anterior slope of the first gastral tergite in minor and medium workers is slightly paler brown than the posterior dorsum, but its coloration is never yellow and always gradually changes from lighter to darker), while in C. troodosensis, if the anterior slope of the first gastral tergite is not yellow but ochraceous to yellowish brown, then the pale color is distinctly separated from the dark posterior dorsum.	en	Salata, Sebastian, Demetriou, Jakovos, Georgiadis, Christos, Borowiec, Lech (2023): Camponotus Mayr, 1861 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Cyprus: generic synopsis and description of a new species.

081D4F46FFED500BFF51FA993757F9E6.taxon	discussion	Notes on previous checklists Camponotus herculeanus has not been detected in Cyprus following the records of Georghiou (1977). Nevertheless, it is known that Georghiou’s list excluded earlier publications and several species were misidentified (Preiss & Platia 2003; Austin et al. 2008). Camponotus herculeanus is a species which can be relatively easily recognized among ants of the subgenus Camponotus as the scape of the larger majors and females reaches or barely surpasses the posterior lateral corner of the head. No other species of the subgenus Camponotus was identified in our material, while the species is also absent from other Mediterranean islands such as Crete, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and the Balearics despite of it being present in neighbouring mainland countries (Janicki et al. 2016; Guénard et al. 2017). Also, there is no habitat suitable for this species in Cyprus. Thus, we tentatively suggest the removal of C. herculeanus from the myrmecofauna of Cyprus. Regarding the subgenus Myrmentoma, C. kiesenwetteri cypria is now regarded as a junior synonym of C. libanicus. Records of C. honaziensis mentioned in Borowiec & Salata (2012), Borowiec (2014) and Salata & Borowiec (2015) concern collected material that had been misidentified and corresponds to the setose form of C. lateralis. Thus, both species are removed from the Camponotus fauna of Cyprus. Lastly, five species of the subgenus Tanaemyrmex were not recovered during our sampling in Cyprus. Records of C. compressus and C. maculatus in neighboring regions have been deemed dubious (Janicki et al. 2016; Guénard et al. 2017), while the presence of C. aethiops, C. baldaccii and C. thoracicus in Cyprus concerned records repeated by Borowiec & Salata (2012) and Borowiec (2014) based on the Fauna Europaea website (Radchenko 2007). The latter database is known to include several misplaced taxa as indicated in Schifani & Alicata (2018) and Demetriou et al. (2023).	en	Salata, Sebastian, Demetriou, Jakovos, Georgiadis, Christos, Borowiec, Lech (2023): Camponotus Mayr, 1861 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Cyprus: generic synopsis and description of a new species.
