Spomladi leta 2013 smo vzorčili mravlje na 14 lokalitetah v južnem delu Črne gore. Uporabljene so bile štiri različne metode nabiranja: direktno vzorčenje, sejanje stelje, postavljanje talnih pasti in nastavljanje vab. Predstavljamo seznam 62 nabranih vrst mravelj, od katerih jih je pet novih najdb za državo: Camponotus gestroi, C. honaziensis, Lasius nitidigaster, Temnothorax sp. 1 in T. sp. 2. Obravnavamo nekatere najdene vrste, vključno z redko podvrsto Crematogaster auberti savinae, in podajamo kratek neformalen opis za dve neidentificirani vrsti rodu Temnothorax.

Abstract

In spring 2013, we sampled ants from 14 localities in the southern part of Montenegro. Four different collection methods were applied: direct sampling, litter sifting, pitfall trapping and baiting. We present a list of 62 collected ant species, five of which are new records for the country: Camponotus gestroi, C. honaziensis, Lasius nitidigaster, Temnothorax sp. 1, and T. sp. 2. Some of the recorded species are discussed, including a rare subspecies Crematogaster auberti savinae. A short informal description for two unidentified Temnothorax species is given.
