Euprenolepis
''Euprenolepis'' is a Southeast Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae with eight recognized species. Species * ''Euprenolepis echinata'' LaPolla, 2009 * ''Euprenolepis maschwitzi'' LaPolla, 2009 * ''Euprenolepis negrosensis'' (Wheeler, 1930) * ''Euprenolepis procera'' (Emery, 1900) * ''Euprenolepis thrix'' LaPolla, 2009 * ''Euprenolepis variegata'' LaPolla, 2009 * ''Euprenolepis wittei'' LaPolla, 2009 * ''Euprenolepis zeta'' La Polla, 2009 Distribution ''Euprenolepis'' is endemic to southeastern Asia. Most species are presently known from Borneo only, but whether or not this reflects biological reality or collecting bias remains unclear. Taxonomy ''Euprenolepis'' was constructed as a subgenus within ''Prenolepis'' by Emery (1906), but he later moved the subgenus to ''Paratrechina'' (Emery, 1925). When ''Euprenolepis'' was raised to full genus level by Brown (1953), he also synonymized ''Chapmanella'' with ''Euprenolepis''. Description Six diagnostic characters can ...

Euprenolepis Procera
''Euprenolepis procera'' is a species of ant found in the rainforests of South East Asia. It was first described by Carlo Emery, an Italian entomologist, in 1900. In 2008, Witte & Maschwitz discovered that ''E. procera'' specialises in harvesting mushrooms in the rainforest for food, representing a new, previously unreported feeding strategy in ants. Distribution ''Euprenolepis procera'' is endemic to South East Asia, being found in the rainforests of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. In Malaysia, where they have been studied, individual colonies were recorded to occur at a density of one nest per approximately 150 m2, but Witte & Maschwitz stated this may be an underestimate as they may not have discovered some colonies. Taxonomy This species was first described in 1900 by Carlo Emery, under the name ''Prenolepis procera''; Emery based his description on material collected by the Italian anthropologist Elio Modigliani in his travels in Malesia. Emery assigned the species to th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Formicinae
The Formicinae are a subfamily within the Formicidae containing ants of moderate evolutionary development. Formicines retain some primitive features, such as the presence of cocoons around pupae, the presence of ocelli in workers, and little tendency toward reduction of palp or antennal segmentation in most species, except subterranean groups. Extreme modification of mandibles is rare, except in the genera ''Myrmoteras'' and ''Polyergus''. However, some members show considerable evolutionary advancement in behaviors such as slave-making and symbiosis with root-feeding hemipterans. Finally, all formicines have very reduced stings and enlarged venom reservoirs, with the venom gland, specialized (uniquely among ants) for the production of formic acid. All members of the Formicinae "have a one-segmented petiole in the form of a vertical scale". Identification Formicine ants have a single node-like or scale-like petiole (postpetiole entirely lacking) and the apex of the abdom ...
