  • Two new species of Myrmica from Korea are described. M. koreana belongs to the schencki species-group of Myrmica and is most similar to M. schencki. It is possibly endemic to the Korean Peninsula. M. hyungokae belongs to the lobicornis-group and is most similar to M. jessensis. It has some characters normally associated with social parasites but it is probably a free-living species. Both new species were clearly separated from their nearest relatives on subjective characters (shape, sculpture etc.) and this was confirmed by discriminant analysis of the morphometrics.
