Myrmicinae
Myrmicinae is a subfamily of ants, with about 140 extant genera; their distribution is cosmopolitan. The pupae lack cocoons. Some species retain a functional sting. The petioles of Myrmicinae consist of two nodes. The nests are permanent and in soil, rotting wood, under stones, or in trees.Goulet, H & Huber, JT (eds.) (1993) Hymenoptera of the world: an identification guide to families. Agriculture Canada. p. 224 Identification Myrmicine worker ants have a distinct postpetiole, i.e., abdominal segment III is notably smaller than segment IV and set off from it by a well-developed constriction; the pronotum is inflexibly fused to the rest of the mesosoma, such that the promesonotal suture is weakly impressed or absent, and a functional sting is usually present. The clypeus is well-developed; as a result, the antennal sockets are well separated from the anterior margin of the head. Most myrmicine genera possess well-developed eyes and frontal lobes that partly conceal the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Myrmicini
Myrmicini is a tribe of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. It is not to be confused with the very similar-sounding tribes Myrmecinini (also in subfamily Myrmicinae) and Myrmeciini, which is in the subfamily Myrmeciinae. While the type genus of Myrmicini is ''Myrmica'', that of Myrmeciini is ''Myrmecia'' and that of Myrmecinini '' Myrmecina''.

Chimaeridris
''Chimaeridris'' is a small genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus contains two species known from tropical Asia. Their unique hook-shaped mandibles and similar appearance to ''Pheidole'' minor workers raises the possibility that the genus is a slave-maker of ''Pheidole'' ants or a specialized predator.

Apterostigma
''Apterostigma'' is a genus of New World ants of the subfamily Myrmicinae. Two species have been described from fossils preserved in Dominican amber, while the others are extant. They are fungus-growing ants, though, unlike the majority of other species in Attini who grow Lepiotaceae, some species have begun cultivating Tricholomataceae.

Acanthognathus
''Acanthognathus'' is a genus of ants that are found in tropical Central and South America.Brown, W. L., Jr., & W. W. Kempf (1969). ''A Revision of the Neotropical Dacetine Ant Genus Acanthognathus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae.'' Psyche 76(2): 87-109. There are 7 living species and 1 extinct species, '' Acanthognathus poinari'', known only from fossil records. Description They are reddish in colour and have long trap-jaws that can be compared to those of ''Odontomachus''. These predatory ants live in small colonies that typically consist of less than 30 adults. Taxonomy The genus was established by Mayr (1887) to house the species '' A. ocellatus'', described from a single worker found in Brazil. Mistakenly, the name ''Acanthognathus'' was re-used by German ichthyologist G. Duncker in 1912 for a genus of syngnathid fish, but that is invalid as it is a junior homonym.Ride, W.D.L, H.G.

Cephalotes
''Cephalotes'' is a genus of tree-dwelling ant species from the Americas, commonly known as turtle ants. All appear to be gliding ants, with the ability to "parachute" and steer their fall so as to land back on the tree trunk rather than fall to the ground, which is often flooded. Ecological specialization and evolution of a soldier caste One of the most important aspects of the genus' social evolution and adaptation is the manner in which their social organization has been shaped by environmental pressures.Hölldobler, B., Wilson, E. O., & Nelson, M. C. (2009). The superorganism: the beauty, elegance, and strangeness of insect societies. New York: W.W. Norton. This is particularly true of the species ''Cephalotes rohweri'', in which an entire soldier class has evolved as a result of highly specialized nest cavity availability.Powell, S. (2008).
