Carpolithus Banisteroides
''Eucommia eocenica'' is an extinct species of flowering plant in the family Eucommiaceae. ''E. eocenica'' is known from fossil fruits found in the middle Eocene Claiborne Formation deposits of the southeastern United States. ''E. eocenica'' is one of five described fossil species from North America assigned to the modern genus ''Eucommia''. The other species are ''Eucommia constans, E. constans'', ''Eucommia jeffersonensis, E. jeffersonensis'', ''Eucommia montana, E. montana'', and ''Eucommia rolandii, E. rowlandii''. History and classification ''Eucommia eocenica'' is known from a number of specimens recovered from Claiborne Formation fossil sites in Tennessee, Missouri, and Mississippi. Two fossils of the species were first described by Edward W. Berry in 1930 from the Holly Hills sand of Tennessee as ''Carpolithus banisteroides'' and ''Simaroubites eocenica'' respectively. The two fossils were reexamined by Roland W. Brown in 1940, who recognized them to belong to the sam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Archiponera Wheeleri
''Archiponera'' is an extinct genus of ant in the formicid subfamily Ponerinae. The genus contains a single described species, ''Archiponera wheeleri'' known from several Late Eocene fossils which were found in North America. History and classification When described the genus ''Archiponera'' was known from a single pair of fossils preserved as an impression in fine shale of the Florissant formation in Colorado. No further specimens have been reported since that time. The formation is composed of successive lake deposits which have preserved a diverse assemblage of insects. The insects and plants suggest a climate similar to modern Southeastern North America, with a number of taxa represented that are now found in the subtropics to tropics and confined to the old world. When ''Archiponera'' was described, the Florissant formation was considered to be Miocene in age, based on the flora and fauna preserved. Successive research and fossil descriptions moved the age older and by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dolichoderus Antiquus UCM17000 Dorsal
''Dolichoderus'' is a genus of ants found worldwide. Taxonomy The ants of the Neotropical genus ''Monacis'' were revised in 1959 by Kempf. However, Brown in 1973 and G. C. Wheeler and J. Wheeler in 1973 and 1976 considered both ''Monacis'' and ''Hypoclinea'' to be junior synonyms of ''Dolichoderus''. Description The type species is '' Dolichoderus attelaboides''. Worker ants in this genus have a body length that is typically about four millimetres and can be recognised by their thick, inflexible and strongly sculptured integument. There is a flange on the underside of the head near the base of the mandibles which is saw-like in some species. The longitudinal suture in the central plate of the metathorax is deeply impressed. The propodeum or first abdominal segment has the posterior face distinctly concave when viewed from the side. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dolichoderinae
Dolichoderinae is a subfamily of ants, which includes species such as the Argentine ant (''Linepithema humile''), the erratic ant, the odorous house ant, and the cone ant. The subfamily presents a great diversity of species throughout the world, distributed in different biogeographic realms, from the Palearctic, Nearctic, Afrotropical region and Malaysia, to the Middle East, Australian, and Neotropical regions. This subfamily is distinguished by having a single petiole (no post-petiole) and a slit-like orifice, from which chemical compounds are released. Dolichoderine ants do not possess a sting, unlike ants in some other subfamilies, such as Ponerinae and Myrmicinae, instead relying on the chemical defensive compounds produced from the anal gland. Of the compounds produced by dolichoderine ants, several terpenoids were identified including the previously unknown iridomyrmecin, isoiridomyrmecin, and iridodial. Such compounds are responsible for the smell given off by ants of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
