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.

Acanthognathus Poinari
''Acanthognathus poinari'' is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from a single possibly Miocene fossil found on Hispaniola. ''A. poinari'' is the first species of the ant genus ''Acanthognathus'' to have been described from fossils found in Dominican amber and is one of several species of ''Acanthognathus'' found in the Greater Antillas. History and classification ''Acanthognathus poinari'' is known from a solitary fossil insect which, along with six dipteran and a leaf section, is an inclusion in a transparent chunk of Dominican amber. The amber was produced by the extinct '' Hymenaea protera'', which formerly grew on Hispaniola, across northern South America and up to southern Mexico. The specimens were collected from an undetermined amber mine in fossil bearing rocks of the Cordillera Septentrional mountains, northern Dominican Republic. The amber dates from at least the Burdigalian stage of the Miocene, based on studying the associated fossil fora ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
