Title: Newly discovered sister lineage sheds light on early ant evolution

Authors: Rabeling, Christian; Brown, Jeremy M.; Verhaagh, Manfred

Abstract: Ants are the world's most conspicuous and important eusocial insects and their diversity, abundance, and extreme behavioral specializations make them a model system for several disciplines within the biological sciences. Here, we report the discovery of a new ant that appears to represent the sister lineage to all extant ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). The phylogenetic position of this cryptic predator from the soils of the Amazon rainforest was inferred from several nuclear genes, sequenced from a single leg. Martialis heureka (gen. et sp. nov.) also constitutes the sole representative of a new, morphologically distinct subfamily of ants, the Martialinae (subfam. nov.). Our analyses have reduced the likelihood of long-branch attraction artifacts that have troubled previous phylogenetic studies of early-diverging ants and therefore solidify the emerging view that the most basal extant ant lineages are cryptic, hypogaeic foragers. On the basis of morphological and phylogenetic evidence we suggest that these specialized subterranean predators are the sole surviving representatives of a highly divergent lineage that arose near the dawn of ant diversification and have persisted in ecologically stable environments like tropical soils over great spans of time.

A new species of the fungus-farming ant genus Mycetagroicus Brandão & Mayhé-Nunes (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Attini)

Title: A new species of the fungus-farming ant genus Mycetagroicus Brandão & Mayhé-Nunes (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Attini)

Authors: Brandão, Carlos Roberto F.; Mayhé-Nunes, Antonio José

Abstract: A new species of the fungus-farming ant genus Mycetagroicus Brandão & Mayhé-Nunes (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Attini). The fungus-farming ant genus Mycetagroicus Brandão & Mayhé-Nunes was proposed based on three species from the Brazilian “Cerrado”: M. cerradensis, M. triangularis and M. urbanus. Here we describe a new species of Attini ant of the genus Mycetagroicus, M. inflatus n. sp., based on two workers collected in eastern Pará State, Brazil. A new key for species identification, comments on differences among species and new geographical distribution data are furnished.

Pheidole bilimeki reconsidered (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

2009-01-24T06:51:42+00:00

Title: Pheidole bilimeki reconsidered (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Authors: Longino, John T.; Cox, Daniel J.

Abstract: Pheidole bilimeki is a common ant species throughout northern South America, Central America, and southern Mexico. Character variation is reevaluated and Pheidole bilimeki is redefined. Pheidole anastasii rev. stat. and P. jamaicensis rev. stat., n. stat. are removed from synonymy and P. jamaicensis is elevated to species rank. Pheidole anastasii is a relatively uniform species that lives in plant cavities in the understory of closed canopy forest. Pheidole jamaicensis and P. bilimeki inhabit open areas and are often associated with human altered landscapes. Pheidole anastasii occurs in lowland Atlantic slope forests from Panama to Guatemala and southern Mexico (Chiapas); P. jamaicensis is restricted to the islands of Jamaica and Hispaniola; P. bilimeki occurs on Cuba, the Bahamas, and the American mainland. Differentiating characters are also provided for Pheidole punctatissima, a common species with habitus and habits similar to P. bilimeki.

Title: Leptothorax athabasca sp.n. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Alberta, Canada, an ant with an apparently restricted range.

Authors: Buschinger, Alfred; Schulz, Andreas

Abstract: Gyne (holotype), worker and male of Leptothorax athabasca sp.n. are described from the Athabasca River valley, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. The most characteristic features of gyne and worker are a sharp dorsal crest of the petiolar node, a straight dorsal profile of the mesosoma, acute and straight horizontal propodeal spines, and a comparatively flat dorsal surface of the mesosoma. Leptothorax athabasca sp.n. has been found in only one very small plot of a few 100 square meters, upriver of Athabasca Falls south of Jasper. It appears to be a rare, local species with adaptations to dwelling rock crevices. Possible reasons for such a restricted range are discussed. The new species nests in rock crevices, an exception among its congeners which usually are found in dead wood.

Title: A revision of Northern Vietnamese species of the ant genus Pheidole (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae)

Authors: Eguchi, Katsuyuki

Abstract: Northern Vietnamese species of the ant genus Pheidole (Myrmicinae: Pheidolini) were revised, and 31 species including six new species were recognized: capellinii Emery, colpigaleata Eguchi, dugasi Forel, elongicephala sp.n., fervens F. Smith, fervida F. Smith, fortis Eguchi, foveolata Eguchi, gatesi (Wheeler), hongkongensis Wheeler, indosinensis Wheeler stat.n., laevicolor Eguchi, laevithorax sp.n., magna Eguchi, megacephala (Fabricius), noda F. Smith, ochracea sp.n., parva Mayr, pieli Santschi, plagiaria F. Smith, planifrons Santschi, rabo Forel, rugithorax sp.n., smythiesii Forel, taipoana Wheeler, tjibodana Forel, tumida sp.n., vieti sp.n., vulgaris Eguchi, yeensis Forel, zoceana Santschi. The following cases of synonymy were resolved: Myrmica agilis F. Smith as a junior synonym of Pheidole megacephala; Pheidole rhombinoda var. stella Forel, P. rhombinoda var. formosensis Forel, P. rhombinoda var. taprobanae Forel, and P. nodus var. flebilis Santschi as junior synonyms of P. noda; Pheidole peguensis r. yomensis as a junior synonym of P. plagiaria; and Pheidole smythiesii var. bengalensis Forel and P. bhavanae Bingham as junior synonyms of P. smythiesii. The lectotype was designated for the following species: Pheidole dugasi, P. rhombinoda var. stella, P. peguensis r. yomensis and P. sulcaticeps r. yeensis. A key to N. Vietnamese species of Pheidole based on the worker caste is given.

Title: Technomyrmex (Formicidae: Dolichoderinae) in the New World: synopsis and description of a new species

Authors: Fernández, Fernando; Guerrero, Roberto J.

Abstract: A synopsis of dolichoderine ants of the genus Technomyrmex Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the New World is offered including notes, keys, pictures of all known species, and the description of T. gorgona sp. n. from SW Colombia. This is the first record of the genus from continental South America. Currently Technomyrmex comprises six species (two extinct, marked by *) in the New World: *T. caritatis Brandão & Baroni Urbani (Dominican amber), T. difficilis Forel (tramp species collected in Washington, Puerto Rico, Antigua and Nevis), T. fulvus (Wheeler) (Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia), T. gorgona sp. n. (Colombia), the first record for Colombia and South America, *T. hispaniolae (Wilson) (Dominican amber) and T. vitiensis Mann (tramp species collected in California).

Afrotropical ants of the ponerine genera Centromyrmex Mayr, Promyopias Santschi gen. rev. and Feroponera gen. n., with a revised key to genera of African Ponerinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

2008-11-22T14:39:10+00:00

Title: Afrotropical ants of the ponerine genera Centromyrmex Mayr, Promyopias Santschi gen. rev. and Feroponera gen. n., with a revised key to genera of African Ponerinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Authors: Bolton, Barry; Fisher, Brian L.

Abstract: The ponerine ant genus Centromyrmex Mayr is redefined and its Afrotropical species are fully revised. Ten Afrotropical species are recognised of which six are described as new (decessor, ereptor, fugator, praedator, raptor, secutor). Two former infraspecific names are elevated to species rank (angolensis, longiventris) and four new junior synonyms of sell- aris (= arnoldi, = congolensis, = constanciae, = guineensis) are established. The monotypic genus Promyopias Santschi is revived from synonymy and a new monotypic genus, Feroponera, type-species F. ferox sp. n., is introduced. The pos- sibility of a Centromyrmex genus group is discussed and a revised key to Afrotropical genera of Ponerinae is presented.

Review of the ant genus Aenictus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Australia with notes on A. ceylonicus (Mayr)

2008-11-22T12:34:04+00:00

Title: Review of the ant genus Aenictus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Australia with notes on A. ceylonicus (Mayr)

Authors: Shattuck, Steven O.

Abstract: The Australian members of the ant genus Aenictus are revised. Eight species were found to occur in Australia with three described as new (acerbus sp. n.., aratus Forel, diclops sp. n., hilli Clark, nesiotis Wheeler and Chapman, philiporum Wilson, prolixus sp. n. and turneri Forel). A. hilli is known only from males and its relationship to the remaining worker- based species is uncertain. Of the seven worker-based species, five are restricted to Australia, one is shared with Papua New Guinea and one is shared with Papua New Guinea and the Philippines. Aenictus aratus nesiotis Wheeler and Chap- man is removed from synonymy with A. aratus and raised to full species, A. pachycerus impressus Karavaiev is newly synonymised with A. aratus and A. turneri is removed from synonymy with A. ceylonicus (Mayr). Additionally, the fol- lowing changes are proposed for non-Australian species: A. aitkenii Forel is removed from synonymy with A. aratus, A. aratus asiatica Forel is removed from synonymy with A. aratus and synonymised with A. aitkenii, A. levior Karavaiev is removed from synonymy with A. aratus and raised to full species, A. orientalis (Karavaiev) is removed from synonymy with A. ceylonicus, A. papuanus Donisthorpe is removed from synonymy with A. ceylonicus and, together with A. similis Donisthorpe, is newly synonymised with A. orientalis. A lectotype is designated for A. impressus and a neotype for A. exiguus.

Title: Lordomyrma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Fiji Islands

Authors: Sarnat, Eli M.

Abstract: This revision treats the members of the ant genus Lordomyrma (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) occurring in Fiji. Ten species are recognized, of which four are new: L. curvata sp. n., L. desupra sp. n., L. levifrons (Mann) stat. n., L. polita (Mann) stat. n., L. rugosa (Mann), L. sukuna sp. n., L. stoneri (Mann) stat. n., L. striatella (Mann), L. tortuosa(Mann), and L. vuda sp. n. Descriptions of each species are provided, along with distribution maps and a key for the identification of workers. Additional figures and identification tools are available on Antweb . A preliminary comparison with Lordomyrma from Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia is followed by a discussion of the distribution of species within Fiji and an outline of future research directions pertaining to the taxonomy, biogeography and conservation of the Fijian species.

A preliminary checklist of the ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Iran

Title: A preliminary checklist of the ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Iran

Authors: Paknia, Omid; Radchenko, Alexander; Alipanah, Helen; Pfeiffer, Martin

Abstract: The first checklist of the ants of Iran is presented. The study is based on a comprehensive review of literature and the examination of material from our own collections and from several museums and institutions of different European countries. 110 species belonging to 26 genera of six subfamilies of the Formicidae (Formicinae, Myrmicinae, Ponerinae, Dolichoderinae, Dorylinae and Aenictinae) are recognized from Iran. Most of the reported species were sampled in the north of the country, mostly near human settlements. One subfamily (Dorylinae), two genera (Ponera LATREILLE, 1804 and Dorylus FABRICIUS, 1793), as well as seven species (Aphaenogaster gibbosa (LATREILLE, 1798), A. kurdica RUZSKY, 1905, Crematogaster bogojawlenskii RUZSKY, 1905, Messor minor (ANDRE, 1883), Tapinoma karavaievi EMERY, 1925, Temnothorax parvulus (SCHENCK, 1852) and Tetramorium inerme MAYR, 1877) were recorded for the Iranian fauna for the first time. The most speciose genera were Camponotus MAYR, 1861, Cataglyphis FOERSTER, 1850 and Messor FOREL, 1890 with 19, 14 and 13 species, respectively. Palaearctic zoogeographic elements prevail in Iran, but several Oriental and Afrotropical genera were also found. Many parts of the country are still studied insufficiently or even not studied at all and we suppose that the total species richness in Iran is essentially higher.

New species of Lordomyrma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Southeast Asia and Fiji

2008-06-19T11:21:34+00:00

Title: New species of Lordomyrma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Southeast Asia and Fiji

Authors: Lucky, Andrea; Sarnat, Eli M.

Abstract: Two new species of Lordomyrma are described: L. reticulata sp. nov. from Malaysian Borneo and L. vanua sp. nov. from Fiji. The occurrence of the former in Borneo expands the range of this genus to include Southeast Asia and the description of a new Fijian Lordomyrma indicates that this genus remains to be fully sampled, even in regions where it is considered to be well known. Taken together, these two findings suggest that Lordomyrma occupies a less disjunct distribution and is more widely distributed than previously suspected. There is a need for further sampling to reveal both diversity and distribution in this cryptic genus.
