Catàleg de les formigues (Hymenoptera:Formicidae) dels Països Catalans

El catàleg es basa en recol•leccions de camp, dades de la col•lecció del Museu de Zoologia i de les publicades d'ençà el treball de COLLINGWOOD (1978). Un total de 184 taxa, repartit en 9 Dolichoderinae, 66 Formicinae, 1 eptanillinae, 101 Myrmicinae i 6 Ponerinae. Una cita molt antiga de Dorylinae a les Balears resta per confirmar. S'inclou la descripció de dues noves espècies (Camponotus heroi sp. n. i Leptothorax universitatis sp. n.) basades en material procedent de la zona estudiada.Check list of ants from the Catalan countries. This list of ants from the Catalan countries is based upon field collections, examination of the collections of the Museum of Zoology (Barcelona) and examination of literature records. A total of 185 taxa is recorded. The list includes 9 taxa in Dolichoderinae, 66 in Formicinae, 1 in Leptanillinae, 102 in Myrmicinae, 6 in Ponerinae. A very old record of Dorylinae from the Balearic Islands remains to be confirmed. Two new species based on material from the studied zone, are described. Leptothorax universitatis sp. n., with big eyes, promesonotal suture, yellowish colour, sparse short truncated pilosity and nesting rather superficially is related to L. laurae Emery, L. laciniatus Stitz, L. canescens Santschi and L. megalops Hamann & Klemm, but differs in having a well marked promesonotal suture, mesopropodeal depression, darker colour and less developed body sculpture, with shining appeareance. Camponotus heroi sp. n. is related to C. Feae Emery, C. Micans s.l., C. Seurati Santschi, C. foreli tingitanus Santschi and C. Mozabensis Emery, but is readily separated by the combination of a well marked mesopropodeal depression and very diluted pubescence
