Background
The ant fauna of Greek Thrace has been least known of all Greek regions with only 12 species mentioned in the literature. We conducted two field trips to this region in 2014 and 2015 and included some unpublished ant material, thus compiling new records from 72 sampling localities.


New information
We found 115 ant species, 108 of them are recorded for the first time in Greek Thrace. Cataglyphis viaticoides, Temnothorax aeolius, Tetramorium cf. davidi, Tetramorium hippocratis, and Tetramorium rhodium were so far not known for continental Greece. In the checklist of recorded species, we also give information on the taxonomic status and distribution of certain taxa.

Carebara oertzeni Forel is recorded from the European part of Turkey for the first time based on queens, a male, and workers.
The hitherto unknown worker caste of C. oertzeni is recorded and described for the first time. Our queen and male specimens have
some differences from the typical C. oertzeni specimens. The differences are the sculpture on the anterior half of head, on the pronotum,
and the area between the metanotal teeth, larger head measurements and some body ratios in queen; head measurements, 4-toothed
mandibles, scape measurements, ratio of scape and 2nd funicular segment, and hair density on head dorsum in male. Moreover, some
biological notes for the species are given.
