Camponotus cecconii

Distribution
Borowiec (2014) notes that records from Crete are probably based on misidentification with Camponotus baldaccii. Also occurrence on Aegean islands and Dodecanese needs confirmation because recent materials suggested misidentification with Camponotus ionius, common on both archipelagos.
