Abstract

The male sex of Echthromyrmex sehitlerolmez Koçak & Kemal, 2008 is here described for the first time from Iran. The species was previously known based on the description of the female specimen from Turkey. This is also the first record of this species in Iran. The species was compared with Echthromyrmex platypterus, the other species of this genus. The illustration of male and female habitus and male genitalia of both species is provided.
