Abstract

The genus Camponotus Mayr is the second speciose ant genus after Pheidole Westwood and includes two parasitic species, Camponotus ruseni Karaman and C. universitatis Forel which are known only from Turkey to co-exist. We present new records with some biological notes of this parasitic species from Turkey and describe the hitherto unknown queen of C. ruseni. Also, the parasitism status of C. ruseni is discussed.
