    "title": "Following the Apennines: updating the distribution of Formica clara and Formica rufibarbis in Italy (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Formica clara \nis an ant species that was historically confused with other congeneric species such as \nF. rufibarbis \nuntil recent taxonomic developments. Due to such misunderstanding, while \nF. clara \nis known to occur across a very large Eurasian range, its actual distribution in the Mediterranean is often scarcely known. The distribution of \nF. clara \nand \nF. rufibarbis \nin Italy is remarkably obscure since almost all records, which spanned across the whole Italian peninsula and Sardinia, were published between 1834 and 1969, at times when the two species were treated as a single taxon. The few modern records of the species testify the presence of \nF. rufibarbis \nin the Alps, and \nF. clara \nin the Alps, the Po Plain and Sardinia. Here we present some new distributional data on the two species, extending the geographic range of \nF. rufibarbis \nsouth to the Northern Apennines (225 km) and that of \nF. clara \nthroughout the Italian Peninsula south to Sicily (900 km). These results significantly change the previous understanding of \nF. rufibarbis \nas a widespread species while suggesting \nF. clara \nto be a common mountain species through the whole Apennines. Further investigations will be needed to verify whether \nF. rufibarbis \noccurs farther south.",
