Four new Myrmica species (M. tulinae, M. jennyae, M. tamarae and M. anatolica) are described from Turkey. Their taxonomic position is discussed and ecological data is provided. M. tulinae belongs to the scabrinodis-group of Myrmica species and the other three species belong to the lobicornis-group. All four species are probably endemic to the region but M. jennyae and M. tamarae appear to have certain unusual features which suggest they might be quite old species.
