Sixty five ant species collected from 53 sampling sites were recorded from the Corfu Island (Ionian Islands). The checklist includes eight morphospecies not assigned to any formally described taxon. Temnothorax italicus Consani \& Zangheri, 1952 is recorded from Greece for the first time. Additionally, the ant fauna of Corfu is compared with three other large Ionian Islands \– Cephalonia, Lefkada and Zakynthos.

Temnothorax antigoni (Forel, 1911) is redescribed basing on a new material from southwestern Turkey (Antalya province), Lesbos and Rhodes (Greece, Aegean and Dodecanese islands). The gyne of this species is described for the first time. Temnothorax curtisetosus, a new species of social parasite collected in a nest of T. antigoni, is described. Colour photos of both taxa are given. A key to the worker caste of the eastern Mediterranean species belonging to both T. recedens and T. muellerianus groups are provided.

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.

Below we present additions to our earlier contribution to the knowledge of the ants of Greece. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: Aphaenogaster rugosoferruginea ForeL, 1889 is raised to the species rank, Lasius illyricus Zimmermann, 1935 and Temnothorax rogeri emery, 1869 are excluded from synonyms and treated as good species. The following new synonyms are proposed: Camponotus sanctus ForeL, 1904 = Camponotus maculatus subsp. symiensis ForeL, 1910, = Camponotus (Tanaemyrmex) compressus var. cosensis FinZi, 1939; Cataglyphis nodus (BruLL\é, 1833) = Cataglyphis bicolor var. rufiventris emery, 1925; Cataglyphis aenescens (nyLander, 1849) = Myrmecocystus cursor var. hellenicus ForeL, 1886, = Myrmecocystys cursor var. cretica ForeL, 1910. Temnothorax rogeri and Aphaenogaster rugosoferruginea are redescribed, gynes of Aphaenogaster rugosoferruginea and Oxyopomyrmex krueperi ForeL, 1911 are described for the first time and characters distinguished Lasius illyricus from Lasius emarginatus are given. Camponotus honaziensis Karaman \& aKta\ç, 2013, Lasius illyricus Zimmermann, 1935, Myrmica hirsuta eLmeS, 1978, Oxyopomyrmex santschii ForeL, 1904 and Strongylognathus huberi dalmaticus ForeL, 1874 are recorded from Greece for the first time and first certain record of Tapinoma madeirense ForeL, 1895 is given, 28 species are excluded from list of Greek ants. New faunistic data for 36 other species are given. Revised check-list of Greek ants reports 278 species, 19 of them without a formal name.

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.

In total, 77 ant species collected from 40 sampling sites were recorded from the Western Greece administrative region, including 76 from the Achaia regional unit of Peloponnese and 31 from the Aetolia-Acarnania regional unit of Sterea Ellas. Myrmecocystus cursor var. hellenicus Forel, 1886 is restored from synonymy with Cataglyphis aenescens (Nylander, 1849) and proposed as Cataglyphis hellenica (Forel, 1886) bona species. Crematogaster lorteti Forel, 1910, Lasius jensi Seifert, 1982, Temnothorax tauricus (Ruzsky, 1902) and Tetramorium chefketi Forel, 1911 are recorded as new for Peloponnese, while presence of Ponera testacea Emery, 1895, Temnothorax morea Cs\ösz, Salata \& Borowiec, 2018 and Temnothorax tauricus (Ruzsky, 1902) was confirmed for Sterea Ellas. We found eight morphospecies not assigned to any formally described taxon which require further investigation as they can represent undescribed species. An updated list of ant species known from the Peloponnese province and Aetolia-Acarnania unit is given.

Based on published records and new materials, we confirm presence of 110 ant species from the Dodecanese. The fauna of ants of the Dodecanese is distinct in relation to the other Greek provinces. Six species are insular endemics, and 19 species or morphospecies are known only from this archipelago. Four species are recorded from the Dodecanese for the first time. Additionally, Bothriomyrmex jannonei Menozzi, 1936 is synonymized with Bothriomyrmex communista Santschi, 1919, new synonymy.

Crematogaster (Crematogaster) jehovae var. cypria Santschi, 1930 is raised to species rank. Two new, related\ species are described from the north-eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin: Crematogaster (Crematogaster)\ erectepilosa sp. n. (Dodecanese, Greece) and Crematogaster (Crematogaster) gullukdagensis sp. n.\ (Antalya Prov., Turkey). These three species are well distinguished from other species of the subgenus\ Crematogaster of the north-eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin in their first gastral tergite bearing\ numerous erect setae. Colour photographs of all taxa are provided, a key to the species of Crematogaster\ cypria group and species groups of the Crematogaster s. str. from the north-eastern Mediterranean region\ are given and a list of Crematogaster s. str. described from this region is provided (see Appendix).
