Seventy seven species of ants have been collected in Epirus (Northwestern Greece) in 2016, Messor cf. clivorum is new to Greece, 46 species are recorded from this region for the first time. At the moment 89 morphospecies are known from Epirus, 18 are identified only to complexes of cryptic taxa and their species status will be determined after future revisions.

A complete list of 107 ant species (including morphospecies not attributed to any known taxon) recorded from Thessaly, Greece, is presented. New records from 40 sampling localities explored during two field trips in 2012 and 2017, and also from literature data are included. Temnothorax sordidulus (M\ÜLLER, 1923) and Temnothorax tauricus (RUZSKY, 1902) are new to Greece; 38 species were recorded from Thessaly for the first time.

Forty five ant species were recorded from the Zakynthos Island (Ionian Islands)in 2018, including seven not attributed to any formally described taxon. A comparison of ant fauna of Zakynthos with ant fauna of Samos islands is presented. Both islands have similar surface area (405.6 versus 476.4 km2) and are placed almost on the same latitude (37\°) but represent the most western and the most eastern fauna complexes in Greece; 78 species and morphospecies were recorded from both islands but only 23 species are common.

Lasius tapinomoides sp. n. from Crete, Greece, is described and illustrated. It belongs to L. turcicus complex and is well characterized by very small body, extremely shallow metanotal groove and presence of suberect to erect setae on the apical part of scape. New records of Cretan members of the genus Lasius Fabricius, 1804 are provided, their checklist is updated, and the key to their determination is presented.
