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 (BruLLé, 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 & aKtaç, 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.

Oxyopomyrmex André, 1881 is a small genus of myrmicine ants found in arid grasslands of the Mediterranean region. Here we provide a new taxonomic revision of the genus. Twelve species are recognized, including five new to science: O. laevibus sp. nov. (Greece: Crete), O. magnus sp. nov. (Spain), O. negevensis sp. nov. (Israel) O. polybotesi sp. nov. (Greece: Nisyros, W Turkey) and O. pygmalioni sp. nov. (Cyprus). Oxyopomyrmex santschii var. nigripes Santschi, 1907 and O. santschii var. nitidior Santschi, 1910 are raised to species level. The following new synonymies are proposed: O. krueperi Forel, 1911 = O. lagoi Menozzi, 1936 syn. nov.; O. nigripes Santschi, 1907 = O. sabulonis var. rugocciput Santschi, 1923 syn. nov. = O. emeryi var. brunnescens Santschi, 1929 syn. nov.; O. nitidior Santschi, 1910 = O. emeryi var. laticeps Santschi, 1915 syn. nov. = O. emeryi st. sabulonis Santschi, 1915 syn. nov.; O. saulcyi Emery, 1889 = O. santschii Forel, 1904 syn. nov. = O. santschii var. siciliana Karavaiev, 1912 syn. nov. = O. gaetulus Santschi, 1929 syn. nov. = O. saulcyi var. latinodis Santschi, 1939 syn. nov. A neotype for O. oculatus André, 1881 is designated. An identification key based on the gyne, male and worker caste is provided.
