Abstract

Sardinia is the second largest islandin the Mediterranean region, receiving significant attention due to its interesting fauna and flora. The last checklist of Sardinian ants was published more than a decade ago, and,since then,it got outdated by numerous taxonomic and faunistic novelties. As a result of recentcollecting efforts across theisland,we presentthe first Sardinian records of Messor ibericus Santschi, 1931, Solenopsis lusitanica Emery, 1915(new to Italy), Temnothorax aveli Bondroit, 1918 and Tetramorium atratulum (Schenck, 1852), while proposing to consider Solenopsis fugax (Latreille, 1798)and Temnothorax affinis (Mayr, 1855) as absent. We report for the first time a parasite-host association between Tetramorium atratulum and Tetramoriumsemilaeve André, 1883, and the conspicuous presence of ergatogynes within a Solenopsiscolony (S. lusitanica).Morphological insights on the little-known S. lusitanica and S. orbula Emery, 1875 are also discussed.We combined the new findings and previous literature data intoan updatedchecklist of 77 taxaand discuss afirst biogeographic analysis of the Sardinian antsaided bychorotypes.Eurasian, European, Euro-Mediterraneanand West-Mediterranean taxa are the numerically prevalent groups, while the overall number of speciesis significantly lower than in the other large Mediterranean islands. Considerableknowledge gapsstill remainand some species are known to require additionaltaxonomic investigation

撒丁岛蚂蚁:基于新种系、形态学和生物地理学笔记的更新清单

撒丁岛是地中海地区的第二大岛，因其有趣的动植物群而备受关注。撒丁岛蚂蚁的最后一份清单是在十多年前发表的，从那时起，它就被许多分类学和动物学上的新发现所淘汰。由于最近在岛上的收集工作，我们提出了撒丁岛的第一个记录，Messor ibericus Santschi, 1931年，Solenopsis lusitanica Emery, 1915年(新到意大利)，Temnothorax aveli Bondroit, 1918年和Tetramorium atratulum (Schenck, 1852年)，同时提出考虑Solenopsis fugax (Latreille, 1798年)和Temnothorax affinis (Mayr, 1855年)是不存在的。我们首次报道了1883年atratulum和Tetramoriumsemilaeve andr之间的寄主关系，以及在一个Solenopsiscolony (S. lusitanica)中明显存在的ergatogynes。形态学的见解鲜为人知的s.l usiitanica和s.o orbula金刚砂，1875也进行了讨论。我们将这些新发现和以前的文献数据结合起来，建立了77个分类的更新清单，并首次讨论了撒丁岛的生物地理分析。欧亚、欧洲、欧洲-地中海和西地中海分类群在数量上占优势，但物种总数明显低于其他地中海大岛屿。相当大的知识差距仍然存在，一些物种已知需要额外的分类调查
