Rediscovery of the Canary Islands endemic Aphaenogaster hesperia Santschi, 1911 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Myrmicinae)
The Canary Islands endemic species Aphaenogaster hesperia Santschi, 1911 was described based solely on two workers captured in a north-western coastal area of Tenerife (Canary Islands) in 1902 and 1903. The species has not been recorded in the last 100 years and only information on its type locality is known. This species, belonging to the crocea group, has been recently rediscovered in a new site within a pine forest at 950 m a.s.l. The new area is a very different habitat, revealing a lack of ecological knowledge of the species, which may have caused the species to have remained unnoticed for more than 100 years. Novel distributional and morphological data are provided.

Authors wish to thank Xavier Espadaler several comments about the possible ecology of the species and Alberto Tinaut for confirming the identity of the species as well as for useful comments during fieldwork and comments on the manuscript. We would also like to thank Enrico Schifani and Rodrigo Feitosa for revising the manuscript and suggesting useful edits that improved the quality of the manuscript. We are also grateful to Mercedes París (MNCN), Bernard Landry (MHNG) and Isabelle Zuercher (NHMB) for providing information on the specimens stored in the Anatael Cabrera, Auguste Forel and Felix Santschi collections, respectively.
