Abstract
Camponotus barbaricus Emery 1905 is recorded for the first time in two locations on the island of Mallorca. Unknown to the area until now, this ant species has become the biggest of our fauna. It would be odd that such a big species, which also shows aggressive behaviour towards other arthropods, had been overlooked up to this point. For this reason, it seems that the possibility of a recent introduction of this species on the island of Mallorca is the most likely, even though we cannot completely rule out that this species be actually autochthonous to the archipelago.
