Abstract

The paper presents an annotated checklist of ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of the Republic of Adygea. Based on the analysis of original material and published data, information on the distribution and some aspects of biology is provided for 50 species from 16 genera and 4 subfamilies, of which 29 species are recorded from the region for the first time. The highest species richness is observed in the genera Formica Linnaeus, 1758, Lasius Fabricius, 1804, and Temnothorax Mayr, 1861. The paper contains original data on the biology, phenology, ecology, and altitudinal distribution of ants inhabiting the region. An analysis of life forms, hydropreference, ecological tolerance, forms of social parasitism, and the zoogeographical structure of the ant fauna of Adygea is provided. Data on the biology, ecology, and distribution of the poorly known species Temnothorax arnoldii Radchenko et Fedoseeva, 2015 are presented for the first time.
