Taxon discussion
Strongylognathus testaceus appears to be the most common species of this genus, it widely spreading in Central and Southern Europe, southern part of east Europe, the Caucasus, Anatolia, south of west Siberia and northern Kazakhstan ( Radchenko 1985, Radchenko 1991, Radchenko 2016, Schulz and Sanetra 2002). In Bulgaria, it has been found in the southern part of the country: in the southern Black Sea coast (Ahtopol), Strandzha Mt. (Bliznak vill.), the Kozhuh volcanic hill and Belasitsa Mountain ( Lapeva-Gjonova et al. 2010, Lapeva-Gjonova and Kiran 2012). The previous record of S. testaceus from Eastern Rhodopes (Dedetz vill.) ( Lapeva-Gjonova 2004) refers to S. karawajewi (misidentification).
Strongylognathus testaceus has long been known as a social parasite of Tetramorium caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758), but was recently found in the nests of T. alpestre Steiner, Schlick-Steiner & Seifert, 2010 and T. impurum (Foerster, 1850) ( Wagner et al. 2017; our unpublished data).
