Resumen

A new species, Rossomyrmex anatolicus, is described from the Anatolian plains (Turkey). Although it is very similar to R. proformicarum because of the abundant pilosity, it can be distinguished by the petiole, which gradually narrows towards the apex. This character, together with the high number of hairs, can be used, also, to differentiate it from R. minuchae. The geographical distribution of the genus Rossomyrmex is discussed and compared with other taxa that also show disjointed distributions.
