摘要
The Australian species of the dolichoderine ant genus Turneria FOREL, 1895 are reviewed. Turneria rosschinga sp.n. is described as new and additional distribution records for T bidentata FOREL, 1895, the only other species of the genus known from Australia, are provided. Turneria rosschinga sp.n. is restricted to cooler regions of south-eastern Australia and is the only member of the genus found in temperate areas. It has been found foraging arboreally and is likely twig-nesting as are other species of Turneria.
