Tyrannomyrmex
''Tyrannomyrmex'' is a rare tropical genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Three similar species, only known from workers, are recognized and share small eyes and edentate mandibles. Species Two of the species are known only from single worker specimens, but a single male specimen collected in 1965 possibly represents the male of an otherwise unknown species, and ''T. alii'' is known from a series of over 35 gynes and workers. So far, all species of ''Tyrannomyrmex'' occur in tropical Old World forests. The wide distribution range from India and Sri Lanka in the west to peninsular Malaysia and perhaps the Philippine archipelago in the east suggests that more species may be discovered. * ''Tyrannomyrmex alii'' Sadasivan & Kripakaran, 2017 - Western Ghats, India * ''Tyrannomyrmex dux'' Borowiec, 2007 – Kerala, India * ''Tyrannomyrmex legatus'' Alpert, 2013 – Sinharaja Forest Reserve, Sri Lanka * ''Tyrannomyrmex rex'' Fernández, 2003 – Negri ...

Solenopsis Invicta
The red imported fire ant (''Solenopsis invicta''), also known as the fire ant or RIFA, is a species of ant native to South America. A member of the genus '' Solenopsis'' in the subfamily Myrmicinae, it was described by Swiss entomologist Felix Santschi as a variant of '' S. saevissima'' in 1916. Its current specific name ''invicta'' was given to the ant in 1972 as a separate species. However, the variant and species were the same ant, and the name was preserved due to its wide use. Though South American in origin, the red imported fire ant has been accidentally introduced in Australia, New Zealand, several Asian and Caribbean countries, and the United States. The red imported fire ant is polymorphic, as workers appear in different shapes and sizes. The ant's colours are red and somewhat yellowish with a brown or black gaster, but males are completely black. Red imported fire ants are dominant in altered areas and live in a wide variety of habitats. They can be found in rain ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oxyepoecus
''Oxyepoecus'' is a Neotropical genus of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus is a member of the tribe Solenopsidini and currently includes 20 species. Distribution The genus of is known from the Neotropics, from Colombia to Chile, where it is collected infrequently. Identification ''Oxyepoecus'' is differentiated from other Solenopsidini by the 11-segmented antennae with a three-segmented apical club, the clypeus with four teeth, and the dentate propodeum. In addition, the petiole and postpetiole nodes are high and often anteroposteriorly compressed. Biology The biology of the genus is poorly known, but three species ('' O. inquilinus'', '' O. daguerrei'', and '' O. bruchi'') are suspected to be inquilines of ''Pheidole'' or '' Solenopsis'', although the exact nature of the relationship is unclear. These three species are considered as "Vulnerable D2" by IUCN, meaning they are suspected to be "facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future" ...

Myrmicaria
''Myrmicaria'' is an ant genus within the subfamily Myrmicinae. Description ''Myrmicaria'' can be discerned from related ant genera by a postpetiole with a complete tergosternal fusion, a postpetiole-gaster articulation shifted ventrally on the gaster, and an antenna with seven segments. Biochemistry Myrmicarin 430A, a heptacyclic alkaloid, was isolated from the poison glands of African ''Myrmicaria''. The structure of its carbon skeleton was previously unknown.Schröder, F.; Baumann, H.; Kaib, M. & Sinnwell, V. (1996): Myrmicarin 430A: a new heptacyclic alkaloid from ''Myrmicaria'' ants. ''Chem.

Monomorium
''Monomorium'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. As of 2013 it contains about 396 species. It is distributed around the world, with many species native to the Old World tropics. It is considered to be "one of the more important groups of ants," considering its widespread distribution, its diversity, and its variety of morphological and biological characteristics. It also includes several familiar pest species, such as the pharaoh ant (''M. pharaonis'') and the flower ant (''M. floricola''). Description This genus is very diverse in morphology, with species of many shapes and sizes that "do not necessarily even remotely resemble one another" at first glance. While the worker caste is monomorphic in some species, in others it is polymorphic. In some species the workers are minute, in others they are rather large. Large, multifaceted eyes are common, but ''M. inusuale'' has much reduced eyes, as do some species from Africa. The sting is always functional.Fernández, ...
