''Blepharidatta'' is a rare Neotropical genus of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus, formed by predatory species whose small ant colony, colonies nest in soil or leaf-litter, has up to seven species, but most of them are waiting for a formal Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic treatment or confirmation. Species *''Blepharidatta brasiliensis'' Wheeler, 1915 *''Blepharidatta conops'' Kempf, 1967 In 2015 two new species were described: * ''Blepharidatta delabiei'' sp. n. Brandão ''et al.'', 2015 * ''Blepharidatta fernandezi'' sp. n. Brandão ''et al.'', 2015 Distribution and habitat ''Blepharidatta'' is a strictly Neotropical group that was described by William Morton Wheeler, Wheeler (1915) from workers of ''Blepharidatta brasiliensis'' collected near Belém (State of Pará, Brazil), in the Amazon forest.

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a Symmetry in biology#Bilate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
