N2 - Two ants, Cardiocondyla brachyceps Seifert, 2003 and C. persiana Seifert, 2003, are recorded from Russia for thefirst time. These species were found in Krasnodar Region, in Novorossiysk and Sochi, respectively. The closest known localityfor both species is western Georgia. The localities in Krasnodar Region are the westernmost for these species known so far.Both species are similar to other representatives of the C. elegans group and can be confidently identified using both themicrosculpture of the head surface and morphometric characteristics.
