Abstract

This paper enhances our understanding of the diversity of Iranian desert ants. It introduces two new species: Cataglyphis shahrekordensis sp. nov., a member of the C. altisquamis species-group, and Cataglyphis lirabiensis sp. nov., which belongs to the C. cursor species-group. These species were discovered in south-western Iran, specifically in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari and Khoozestan Provinces. With these additions, the total number of Cataglyphis Foerster species known in Iran has now reached 37. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:725AF7DF-BB0E-4833-BAE7-A5983F952E1E
