Based on recently collected material, theCamponotus kiesenwetterigroup is redefined, and its members known from the Aegean region are diagnosed.Camponotus schulzisp. nov.is described from İzmir Province, Turkey.Camponotus nadimiTohmé, 1969syn. nov.is proposed as a junior synonym ofCamponotus libanicusAndré, 1881 andCamponotus kiesenwetteri cypriusEmery, 1920syn. nov.as a junior synonym ofCamponotus kiesenwetteri(Roger, 1859). A key to workers of species of theC. kiesenwetterigroup is provided. Niche modeling analyses are used to account for species habitat suitability across the Aegean region.
