Notes
First record for Bulgaria.
Temnothorax rogeri
is an eastern Mediterranean species, known from Croatia, Greece, Montenegro and Turkish Thrace (
Borowiec and Salata 2018
,
Kiran and Karaman 2020
). Recently, it was recorded in Slovakia, but most likely this record is based on an introduced specimen (
Klesniakova
et al. 2018
). Morphologically, it is very close to
T. recedens
(Nylander, 1856), which is known from the southern regions and the Black Sea coast in Bulgaria (
Atanassov and Dlussky 1992
,
Lapeva-Gjonova et al. 2010
).
