Abstract
Species of the ant genus Strongylognathus Mayr, 1853 are social parasites of Tetramorium species. Strongylognathus species reported from the western part of the Balkan Peninsula belong to the following groups: (1) testaceus group, represented by the species S. testaceus (Schenck, 1852), and (2) huberi group, represented by S. alboini Finzi, 1924 and S. dalmaticus Baroni Urbani, 1969. Analysis of distribution of the Strongylognathus species in the western Balkan Peninsula showed that S. testaceus (Schenck) can be found in the continental part and the Pannonian basin. Lack of data [one record of species S. alboini Finzi in Slovenia, two records of S. dalmaticus Baroni Urbani on the island of Biševo (Croatia) and a new finding on locality Popovo poljice (Bosnia and Herzegovina)] make an insufficient basis for analysis of their distribution.
