Abstract:
The ant fauna in two northeastern province of Iran (Khorasan-e-Razavi and Khorasan-e-Shomali) was surveyed in 2003, 2005 and 2013. A total of 10 species belonging to 6 genera were identified; of which two species, Tetramorium sulcinode Santschi, 1927 and Tetramorium feroxoide Dlussky & Zabelin, 1985, were newly recorded for the Iranian ant fauna. By adding these two new records, the total number of ant species recorded from Iran has increased to 183.
