Abstract

Nine species of the genus Messor Forel have been reported from Cyprus to date. However, based on our samples and examined type material we confirm the presence of only three species on the island. Messor bucephalus sp. nov. is described as a new species to science, while M. orientalis Emery and M. syriacus Tohmé are redescribed based on the material from Cyprus. Their distribution, biology and possible misidentification with other species of the genus are discussed.
