Broadly sympatric occurrence of two thief ant species Solenopsisfugax (Latreille, 1798) and S.juliae (Arakelian, 1991) in the East European Pontic-Caspian region (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) is disclosed.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents numeric morphology-based evidence on the broadly overlapping distribution of two thief ant species Solenopsisfugax (Latreille, 1798) and S.juliae (Arakelian, 1991) in the East European Pontic-Caspian region. The paper integrates two autonomous data collections and independent analyses performed by different researchers, using different equipment, considering different character combinations, and evaluating partially different samples. Five type series, the neotype series of Solenopsisfugax (Latreille 1798) and the type series of S.flavidula (Nylander, 1849), S. (Diplorhoptrum) fugax var. furtiva Santschi, 1934, S. (Diplorhoptrum) fugax var. pontica Santschi, 1934, S. (Diplorhoptrum) fugax var. scytica Santschi, 1934 were nested in one cluster and we propose the junior synonymy of the latter four taxa names with S.fugax. The other cluster contained only one type specimen of Solenopsisnitida (Dlussky & Radchenko, 1994) measured from AntWeb images. The naming of this cluster was based on both verbal statements and measurements of gynes given in the original description of Solenopsisjuliae (Arakelian, 1991), which represents the oldest available name for this cluster. Hence, S.nitida is proposed as junior synonym of S.juliae. Solenopsiscypridis Santschi, 1934 is raised to species rank based on investigation of worker and gyne type specimens.
