Notes:

According to DuBois (1993)Stenamma westwoodii is distributed only in Western Europe, so all previous records for it in Bulgaria should refer to Stenamma debile , which is a more widespread European species.

Stenamma debile is a species of ant belonging to the family Formicidae.

It is native to Europe.
