Brachyponera Croceicornis

	Brachyponera Croceicornis ''Brachyponera'' is genus of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae. Distribution The genus is natively distributed from Africa to southern Asia and Australia, with most species occurring in Southeast Asia. At least two species are invasive in other parts of the world. ''B. chinensis'', the most studied ''Brachyponera'' species, has been introduced as an exotic ant in southeastern United States and New Zealand. The other invasive species, ''B. sennaarensis'', is spreading through the Middle East. Description The genus was first established as a subgenus of ''Euponera'', when Emery (1900) described ''B. croceicornis''. Workers are small to medium in size (3–7 mm) and have triangular mandibles. Queens are similar to workers, but larger and winged.

	Brachyponera Chinensis ''Brachyponera chinensis'', or the Asian needle ant, is a ponerine ant native to areas of Japan and Asia. The species can also be found in the United States, where it is an adventive and possibly invasive species. It is documented from Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, though unpublished records place it in Alabama and Tennessee. Sightings have been confirmed as far north as Maryland. The pest species is of growing concern due to ecological impacts on biodiversity and medical risks to human health, via sting-induced anaphylaxis. It prefers nesting in dark, damp areas in soil beneath stones, logs, stumps, and debris. The Asian needle ant and the Argentine ant (''Linepithema humile'') have been battling for territory in the U.S. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
