Camponotus kiesenwetteri r. nitidescens Forel, 1889 described from Kefalonia island is removed from synonyms of C. piceus (leach, 1825) and raised to the rank of species. List of 54 ant species collected in Kefalonia in 2014, with 24 species new to the island, and complete check-list of 76 ant species recorded hitherto from this island are given.

Based on recently collected material, the Camponotus kiesenwetteri group is redefined, and its members known from the Aegean region are diagnosed. Camponotus schulzi sp. nov. is described from {\.I}zmir Province, Turkey. Camponotus nadimi Tohm\é, 1969 syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of Camponotus libanicus Andr\é, 1881 and Camponotus kiesenwetteri cyprius Emery, 1920 syn. nov. as a junior synonym of Camponotus kiesenwetteri (Roger, 1859). A key to workers of species of the C. kiesenwetteri group is provided. Niche modeling analyses are used to account for species habitat suitability across the Aegean region.

Here we define the Camponotus samius complex, a distinct subunit within the compressus-sylvaticus group, and revise\ the species known from the Turano-Balkan region (the Balkans, Middle East, Anatolia, Caucasus, Iran and W Turkestan).\ We confirm the presence of six species of the complex from the Turano-Balkan region, and we provide diagnoses and a key. Additionally, based on new material from the Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari Province of Iran, we describe Camponotus\ bakhtiariensis sp. nov.\—a new member of the samius complex.
