BackgroundMany faunistic studies on the myrmecofauna of Bulgaria have been carried out and about 180 ant species (  Hymenoptera  ,   Formicidae  ) from 43 genera and six subfamilies have been discovered as a result. Although the Bulgarian ant fauna is considered to be relatively well studied, the finding of unrecorded species continues, especially amongst the rare social parasites and the species with a more southern distribution in the Balkans.New informationThe current study presents data on 11 ant species recorded for the first time in Bulgaria (   Messor   hellenius    Agosti &amp; Collingwood, 1987,    M.   mcarthuri    Steiner et al., 2018,    Crematogaster   ionia    Forel, 1911,    Monomorium   monomorium    Bolton, 1987,    Temnothorax   aeolius    (Forel, 1911),   T.   cf.   exilis   (   form   darii   Forel, 1911),    T.   finzii    (Menozzi, 1925),    T.   rogeri    Emery, 1869,   Tetramorium   cf.   punicum  ,    Plagiolepis   xene    Stärcke, 1936 and    Lasius   reginae    Faber, 1967), as well as new locality data on 15 rarely found species. Some of the species, such as    Hypoponera   eduardi    (Forel, 1894),    Strumigenys   argiola    (Emery, 1869),    Temnothorax   graecus    (Forel, 1911),    Tetramorium   diomedeum    Emery, 1908,    Camponotus   ionius    Emery, 1920 and    C.   tergestinus    Müller, 1921, have been known so far only from a single locality in Bulgaria.The dataset of all records presented in this work was published separately through Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF,  https://doi.org/10.15468/mngbzp ).
