Ponera testacea Emery, 1895

Records

(Map 5): Krupnik-Sandanski-Petrich Valley: Melnik, Melnik river valley, Rozhen ( Csősz and Seifert 2003).

Notes:

Csősz and Seifert (2003) revived the name Ponera coarctata var. testacea from synonymy and raised it to species. Ponera testacea is a more thermophilous species than Ponera coarctata and seems to be widely distributed in Southern Europe. We are pretty sure that many of the previous records of Ponera coarctata for Bulgaria might belong to Ponera testacea .
