Astenus (Eurysunius) rhodicus ASSING, 2013 View in CoL
C o m m e n t: Astenus rhodicus is a myrmecophile associated with ants of the genus Tetramorium MAYR, 1855. It was previously known only from Rhodos ( ASSING 2013b). All four specimens ( Tab. 1) were found in the same Tetramorium nest. An examination of the ants revealed that it was in fact a mixed colony of Tetramorium sp. and a species of the dulotic (slave-making) ant genus Strongylognathus MAYR, 1853.
