摘要

Four species of the temperate ant genus Myrmica are found on Taiwan, all except M. serica are known only from the island. Three are previously described species (M. formosae, M. Serica and M. arisana) and the fourth is an hitherto unknown species (M. mirabile). The status of all four species is reviewed and a key to their identification is provided. M. mirabile has exceptionally large workers for a Myrmica ant, and differs in this respect from all other known species except M. gigantea (Collingwood).

台灣已發現4種溫帶性分佈的家蟻屬（Mymica），除M. serica Wheeler外，均僅分佈於台灣島。本文審訂3舊記錄種（M. formosae Wheeler, M. serica Wheeler及M. arisana Wheeler）與描述1新種（M. mirabile sp. n.），並附“種”之檢索表。M. mirabile的職蟻體型碩大，為家蟻屬種類所罕見，僅M. gigantea（Collingwood）有相似體型。
