چکیده
Conomyrma Forcl and all its species were considered to belong in Dorjrm?mex Santschi, until Kusnezov (1952) separated the two genera, Dorymyrmex and Conotnyrtna. He further divided Conomyrrna into two subgenera, Biconomyrma Kusnezov and Conotnyrnta. Although these subgenera subsequently were elevated to generic status by Kusnezov (1 959), Biconot?lyrtna was later synonymized with Conotnyrrna by Snelling (1973). The taxonomy of the North American Cononlyrrna species is uncertain, and the genus is in need ofrevision. Snelling (1973) synonymized all but three of the nominal taxa from the U.S.A. One species, C. insana (Buckley), cannot be recognized with certainty because the type material is lost (J. C. E. Nickerson and J. C. Trager, pers. comm.) and thc original description (Buckley, 1866) is vague. Conomyrrna/lava (McCook) was synonymized with C. insana by Snelling (1973), but has since been determined to be a valid species by the late William F. Buren (J. C. Trager, pers. comm.). We use the name C.jlava for the specimens reported here and have deposited voucher specimens, as indicated below, for later study. Apparently unaware of the taxonomic changes proposed by Kusnezov (1952), Crozier (1968, 1970) reported the karyotypes of the following three species of Conotnyrrna: Dorymyrmex bicolor (Wheeler), Dorytnyrmex?~horacius (Santschi), and Dor.vtyrrnex ?pulcl~ellus (Santschi) (=Dorymyrtnex sp. in 1968 paper). Two of the species reported by Crozier are from South America, whereas C. bicolor is from the U.S.A. We herein report the karyotype of a second Conotnyrrna sp. from North America.

Untreated STDs can lead to serious long-term adverse health consequences, especially for young women. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that undiagnosed and untreated STDs cause at least 24,000 women in the US each year to become infertile. This clearly is a...
متن کاملNeeded: Global Collaboration for Comparative Research on Cities and Health
Over half of the world’s population lives in cities and United Nations (UN) demographers project an increase of 2.5 billion more urban dwellers by 2050. Yet there is too little systematic comparative research on the practice of urban health policy and management (HPAM), particularly in the megacities of middle-income and developing nations. We make a case for creating a global database on citie...
