DISTRIBUTION IN TURKEY . — Afyonkarahisar , Ağrı , Ankara , Antalya , Balıkesir , Bitlis , Bursa , Çanakkale , Edirne , Elazığ , Erzincan , Erzurum , Gaziantep , Hakkari , İstanbul , İzmir , Kars , Kırklareli , Kocaeli , Muş , Sakarya , Siirt , Yalova . REMARKS In recent paper on Albanian ants Wagner et al. (2018b) suggested that southern populations from Balkan area and adjacent regions recorded as Tapinoma erraticum represent a cryptic undescribed species. Probably Turkish populations belong to the same taxon, but until a formal description we consider them as T. erraticum .
