Description

Nylanderia jaegerskioeldi (Mayr, 1904), a common tramp species, is recorded from Poland for the first time. It is the first record of this species from Central Europe and the first observation of this species in the indoor locality. Its updated distribution in Palearctic is provided and features allowing a certain separation of N. jaegerskioeldi from N. vividula (Nylander, 1846) are discussed.
