Comment. Plinthisus minutissimus is a very small species which was observed to live inside nests of Formica rufa Linnaeus, 1758 and F. lugubris Zetterstedt, 1838 (= F. congerens Nylander, 1846 ) ( PUTON 1878). However, PÉRICART (1998) mentions that he always collected this species from mosses. The examined specimen belongs to the rare macropterous form. This species has a wide distribution range in southern Europe ( Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece (Corfu and Crete as well), Italy, Macedonia, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and Switzerland) and North Africa ( Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia) ( PÉRICART1998). It is distinguished from other species of its subgenus by its relatively small size, shiny dorsum and castaneous coloration ( Fig. 5H View Fig ) ( PÉRICART 1998).
Distribution in Turkey. İzmir (this work).
