Notes:

During the last decade Myrmica slovaca has been considered as a junior synonym of Myrmica salina Ruzsky, 1905, but very recently Radchenko and Elmes (2009) based on the finding of Ruzsky’s original type material of Myrmica salina showed that these two species are not conspecific and revived the name Myrmica slovaca from synonymy.

Despite the fact that one of the type localities of Myrmica slovaca is in Bulgaria, this species was omitted by Atanassov and Dlusskij (1992).
