Abstract

The genus Chalepoxenus is represented in the Iberian peninsula by two species for which we update their distribution maps. We present the first records of Chalepoxenus kutteri for the provinces of Albacete, León, Lleida and Teruel and Chalepoxenus muellerianus for the autonomous community of Galicia and the provinces of Guadalajara, León, Lugo, Soria y Zaragoza. Temnothorax pardoi and Temnothorax grouvellei for C. kutteri and T. grouvellei for C. muellerianus are registered as new hosts worldwide.
