Altogether fifty ant species have been collected during the expedition of the Zoological Institute, University of Wroclaw, Poland. Three taxa, Temnothorax semenovi (ruzSky, 1903), Tetramorium feroxoide dluSSky & zabelin 1985, and Tetramorium sulcinode santschi, 1927 proved to be new records for the Kyrgyz ant fauna. Two further Tetramorium species with unclear status, belonging to Tetramorium caespitum/impurum complex and a possibly undescribed Plagiolepis Mayr, 1861 are also reported to occur in Kyrgyzstan. A list of collected species along with localities is given. Several species are commented upon. A total of 111 ant species are now recognized from the country.
