Abstract

The Canary Islands are a biologically important archipelago hosting many unique species, whose myrmecofauna is peculiarly rich in both endemic and introduced species. Lepisiota frauenfeldi cfr. kantarensis Forel, 1911 is reported for the first time from Fuerteventura and Tenerife. It is the second species of Lepisiota introduced in the archipelago in the last few years, and one of the few documented cases in which Lepisiota frauenfeldi (Mayr, 1855) s.l. acts as a successful tramp species. Comments are also given on taxonomic problems involving the L. frauenfeldi-group and related taxa. Finally, new additional information and comments are presented on the distribution of other alien ants species from the Canary Islands [Lasius neglectus Van Loon, Boomsma & Andrásfalvy, 1990, Lepisiota capensis (Mayr, 1862) and Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille, 1802)].

另一种外来物种：分布在西班牙加那利群岛的第二种鳞翅目（膜翅目：蚁科）

加那利群岛是一个具有重要生物学意义的群岛，拥有许多独特的物种，其myrmecofaauna在特有种和引进种中都特别丰富。松香松香;kantarensis Forel, 1911年首次在富埃特文图拉岛和特内里费岛报道。它是近年来引入该群岛的第二种Lepisiota，也是有记录的为数不多的Lepisiota frauenfeldi (Mayr, 1855) s.l.作为成功的流浪者物种之一。本文还对有关的分类问题作了评述。最后，对来自加那利群岛的其他外来蚁种的分布情况提出了新的补充信息和评论[Lasius neglect tus Van Loon, Boomsma & Andrásfalvy, 1990, Lepisiota capensis (Mayr, 1862)和Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille, 1802)]。

期刊介绍： Fragmenta entomologica is devoted to publishing high quality papers dealing with Arthropod biodiversity. It publishes research articles, short scientific notes, reviews articles, comments and editorials. The core scope of the journal includes Taxonomy, Systematics, Molecular phylogeny, Morphology, Paleontology, Biodiversity, Biogeography, Evolutionary biology, Conservation biology, Ecology, Ethology and Applied Entomology, and embraces all terrestrial, freshwater and brackish water Arthropods. Merely faunistic papers might be considered for publication only in the following cases: papers including relevant and significant new data emphasizing the conservation priority of rare, protected or endangered arthropods and their habitats; papers concerning with important newly introduced pest species; papers concerning with very poorly known geographic areas from scarcely investigated countries.
