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.

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.

A comparison of ant fauna of Zakynthos with ant fauna of Samos islands is presented.

Background
The ant fauna of Greek Thrace has been least known of all Greek regions with only 12 species mentioned in the literature. We conducted two field trips to this region in 2014 and 2015 and included some unpublished ant material, thus compiling new records from 72 sampling localities.


New information
We found 115 ant species, 108 of them are recorded for the first time in Greek Thrace. Cataglyphis viaticoides, Temnothorax aeolius, Tetramorium cf. davidi, Tetramorium hippocratis, and Tetramorium rhodium were so far not known for continental Greece. In the checklist of recorded species, we also give information on the taxonomic status and distribution of certain taxa.
