We provide a list of 27 ant species from Lemnos (26 new to the island), 50 species from Samothraki (44 new to the island), and additional data of 8 species new to Thasos. Tapinoma magnum Mayr collected on Thasos is the first certain record from Greece. Camponotus baldaccii Emery, Myrmica rubra (Linnaeus), Temnothorax angustifrons Cs\ösz, Heinze \& Mik\ó, Temnothorax brackoi Salata \& Borowiec, Temnothorax smyrnensis (Forel), Tetramorium staerckei Kratochvil, and Trichomyrmex perplexus (Radchenko) are new to Thrace.

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.
