Notes on ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Euboea Island, Central Greece. Seventy-one ant species are recorded from the Euboea Island, Central Greece (Sterea Ellas), mostly based on material collected in 2018, including eight not attributed to any formally described taxon. Proceratium numidicum SantSchi, 1912 is new to Greece, 29 species or morphospecies are recorded from Sterea Ellas for the first time.

Fifty and six ant species are recorded from the Samos Island (North Aegean) including seven not attributed to any formally described taxon. Aphaenogaster subcostata Viehmeyer, 1922, Temnothorax curtisetosus Salata \& Borowiec, 2015 and Temnothorax smyrnenis (Forel, 1911) are new to Greece and Europe; Crematogaster erectepilosa Salata \& Borowiec, 2015, Ponera coarctata (Latreill e, 1802), Temnothorax angustifrons Cs\ösz, Heinze \& Mik\ó, 2015 and Tetramorium hippocratis Agosti \& Collingwood, 1987 are new to the East Aegean Islands. Leptothorax bulgaricus ssp. smyrnenis Forel, 1911 is raised to the species rank as Temnothorax smyrnenis (Forel, 1911) new status.

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.

Cataglyphis cretica ( Forel, 1910) is raised to species rank and redescribed. The following synonymies are proposed: Lepisiota nigra ( Dalla torre, 1893) = Lepisiota splendens Karavaiev, 1912 syn. nov.; Camponotus boghossiani boghossiani stenoticus Forel, 1911 = Camponotus emery, 1915 syn. nov.; Camponotus oertzeni = Camponotus andrius Dalla torre Forel, 1889\  , 1893 syn. nov.,= Camponotus oertzeni kappariensis Dalla torre, 1893 syn. nov.

Aphaenogaster aktaci Kiran \& tezcan, 2008 and Temnothorax kemali (SantSchi, 1934) are new to Europe and Greece. New records for 10 species and an updated checklist of 315 species or morphospecies occurring in Greece is given.
