Csősz, S.: Taxonomical and distributional notes on two new and a rare Leptothorax Mayr, 1855 species for the Hungarian ant fauna (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

forest and marsh, and also from the lower hilly regions in the Carpathian Basin. L. gredleri seems to be more common than L. muscorum, which is apparently a rare species for the Hungarian ant fauna. This European species has been recorded from Czechia, Germany, Greece, Yugoslavia, Northern Italy, Poland, Switzerland and Hungary (AGOSTI & COLLINGwooD 1987a, GALLÉ et al 1998, KUTTER 1977, RADCHENKO et al 1999, SOMFAI 1959, STITZ 1939). * * * Acknowledgements - I wish to thank at first LAJOS ZOMBORI (HNHM) and ANDRÁS TARTALLY for loan of Leptothorax material. I thank LÁSZLÓ GALLÉ (Department of Ecology, Szeged University) for giving me a lot of valuable suggestions on these Leptothorax questions. I wish to thank LÁSZLÓ PEREGOVITS whose comments and corrections improved the manuscript. REFERENCES AGOSTI, D. & COLLINGWOOD, C. A.
