A revision of male ants of the Malagasy region (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Key to genera of the subfamily Proceratiinae
نویسندگان
چکیده
Male-based keys to the ant genera of Proceratiinae in the Malagasy region (Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, Comoros, and Seychelles) are presented. All three extant genera known from the Malagasy region, Discothyrea, Probolomyrmex, and Proceratium, and an undescribed taxon, PRm01 from Seychelles, are included. Diagnoses and remarks on the subfamily Proceratiinae and its four genera, and a character table for these genera, are given. The males of all genera are illustrated.

متن کاملA Revision of Male Ants of the Malagasy Amblyoponinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) with Resurrections of the Genera Stigmatomma and Xymmer
In a male-based revision of ants of the subfamily Amblyoponinae from the Southwest Indian Ocean islands (SWIO: Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Reunion, and Seychelles), we explore and reconsider male morphological characters that distinguish genera within the group. Our investigation redefines Amblyopone Erichson sensu Brown (1960), here referred to as Amblyopone sensu lato, into three...

متن کاملMolecular systematics of basal subfamilies of ants using 28S rRNA (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
For many years, the ant subfamily Ponerinae was hypothesized to contain the basal (early branching) lineages of ants. Recently the Ponerinae were reclassified into six poneromorph subfamilies based on morphological analysis. We evaluate this new poneromorph classification using 1240 base pairs of DNA sequence data obtained from 28S rRNA gene sequences of 68 terminal taxa. The molecular tree sup...
