متن کاملA Descriptive Morphology of the Ant Genus Procryptocerus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Morphology is the most direct approach biologists have to recognize uniqueness of insect species as compared to close relatives. Ants of the genus Procryptocerus possess important morphologic characters yet have not been explored for use in a taxonomic revision. The genus is characterized by the protrusion of the clypeus forming a broad nasus and antennal scrobes over the eyes. The toruli are l...
متن کاملRevision of the ant genus Melophorus (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
The fauna of the purely Australian formicine ant genus Melophorus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is revised. This project involved integrated morphological and molecular taxonomy using one mitochondrial gene (COI) and four nuclear genes (AA, H3, LR and Wg). Seven major clades were identified and are here designated as the M. aeneovirens, M. anderseni, M. biroi, M. fulvihirtus, M. ludius, M. majeri a...
متن کاملA review of the ant genus Myrmecorhynchus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
The Australian endemic ant genus Myrmecorhynchus is reviewed. The genus is known from three species (M. carteri Clark, M. emeryi André and M. nitidus Clark) which are restricted to eastern and southern Australia. Myrmecorhynchus musgravei Clark and M. rufithorax Clark are newly synonymised with M. emeryi André. All species are found in forested areas where they nest arboreally or, less commonly...
متن کاملThe ant subfamily Pseudomyrmecinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): phylogeny and evolution of bigeyed arboreal ants
The ant subfamily Pseudomyrmecinae comprises three genera of hyperoptic, arboreal ants, widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions: Pseudomyrmex ( 200 species, NewWorld),Myrcidris (two species, South America) and Tetraponera ( 100 species, Palaeotropics). The phylogenetic relationships among these ants were investigated using DNA sequence data ( 5.2 kb from 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, wingl...
