Rediscovery of Crematogaster subgenus Colobocrema (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in Southeast Asia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Crematogaster subgenus Colobocrema was established to include the single species C. cylindriceps Wheeler, based on a single queen from the Philippines. We discovered a species close to or the same as C. cylindriceps in Borneo and provide descriptions of the queen, worker and male. This species lives in live climber plants of secondary and primary rainforests. The phragmotic morphology characterising the queen caste is considered an adaptation to a stem-inhabiting life style.

A subgeneric revision of Crematogaster and discussion of regional species-groups (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Crematogaster ants are diverse, widespread and abundant in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate climates throughout the world. The species diversity of this genus has been notoriously difficult to manage based upon morphology alone, and former attempts have generated a vaguely defined subgeneric system. I propose an improvement of the previous subgeneric classification and recognize two sub...
متن کاملTaxonomy and species-groups of the subgenus Crematogaster ( Orthocrema) in the Malagasy region (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
The species-level taxonomy of the subgenus Crematogaster (Orthocrema) in the Malagasy region is evaluated with both morphological data from worker and queen ants, and genetic data from three nuclear markers (long wavelength rhodopsin, arginine kinase and carbamoylphosphate synthase). These two types of data support the existence of six Orthocrema species: Crematogaster madecassa Emery, Crematog...

Leptogenys brevilobasp. n., Leptogenys curvasp. n., Leptogenys itoisp. n., Leptogenys kanaoisp. n., Leptogenys malayanasp. n., and Leptogenys modiglianii Emery, 1900 are described from southeast Asia. The Leptogenys modiglianii species group is proposed on the basis of similarities among the six species. An identification key to species in this group from southeast Asia is provided.
