WORELL, coll. NVZ. NOTES In the previous article (MARKÓ & CSŐSZ 2002), data on 780 individuals be­longing to 44 species were presented. Considering these data along with the cur­rently published species, altogether 86 species were identified in the collection (Table 1): 45 species from Sibiu city and its vicinity, 65 from Transylvania and 68 from Romania. A considerable number of species were collected in other Euro­pean countries: 34 species were identified from Hungary and 25 species from other countries. It is worth mentioning that the fauna of Sibiu city and its surroundings is especially rich and diverse on the basis of these data, at least half of the currently known species in Romania can be found here. PARASCHIVESCU (1975) in his article listed only 47 Romanian species from the Museum's collection, which shows, besides the inadequacy of the identifica­tions, the progress recorded in ant taxonomy in the past decades. It is also interest­ing that despite the fact that PARASCHIVESCU (1975) mentioned Formicoxenus nitidulus NYLANDER and Camponotus sylvaticus OLIVIER as new species for Ro­mania in his paper on the Museum's collection, he still did not include them in his list on the Romanian myrmecofauna later on (PARASCHIVESCU 1978). There are also some species, mentioned by PARASCHIVESCU (1975) for Romania from the Museum's collection, which are the results of misidentifications, as: Crematogas­ter scutellaris, Leptothorax interruptus, Camponotus sylvaticus and C. lateralis. One new species was identified in the collection on the basis of the current status of the Romanian myrmecofauna (MARKO et al. in prep.): Lasius bicornis
