Abstract :Human activities such as tourism, developed transportation and increased trade lead to the introduction of faunal elements into non-native habitats and consequently affect native fauna. These introduced species are called as non-native, exotic, invasive or tramp species. Here we record the well-known tramp species Tetramorium lanuginosum Mayr, for the first time from Turkey (Antalya-Alanya), and present first locality records for Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille) from Antalya-Alanya and Adana. Thus, the number of tramp ant species of Turkey is increased to 19.Keywords : new record, Tramp species, Northeastern Mediterranean, Antalya-Alanya
