Abstract
A new species of Crematogaster Lund, 1831, Crematogaster gypsophila Mohseni, sp. nov., is described based on museum and worker specimens from Iran collected in 2022. Crematogaster gypsophila appears to be well-adapted to gypseous soils. It was found only at one site, a gypsum arid dryland covered with sparse but diverse vegetation, suggesting it may have a narrow niche breadth. Additionally, we present a synoptic list and an identification key to the Iranian Crematogaster species.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
