Linepithema
''Linepithema'' is a genus of small ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. Distribution Their native distribution rage from northern Mexico, east into the Caribbean, and south into northern Argentina. Two species have been spread around the world by human activities: ''L. iniquum'' and ''L. humile''. The latter is better known as the Argentine ant, an invasive species with notable presence in Mediterranean climates. ''Linepithema'' species are found from sea level and up to 4,000 meters above sea level in the Andes The Andes, Andes Mountains or Andean Mountains (; ) are the longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. The range is long, wide (widest between 18°S – 20°S ....

Linepithema Fuscum
''Linepithema fuscum'' is a species of ant in the genus ''Linepithema''. Described by Mayr in 1866, the species is endemic to South America. ''Linepithema fucsum'' was the first species-level name assigned to genus ''Linepithema'' by Mayr. It is related to ''L. angulatum, L. keiteli, L. piliferum and L. tsachila.'' However, only ''Linepithema fuscum'' remains without a worker association and it could be possible that males of ''Linepithema fuscum'' actually belong to the workers of ''L. angulatum.'' Little is known about ''Linepithema fuscum'' due to the scarcity of the collected samples. Taxonomy In 1866, Mayr first described ''Linepithema fuscum'' and 28 species-level names have been assigned to the genus ''Linepithema'' ever since. However, species limit within ''Linepithema'' is poorly understood and there haven't been efforts to synthesize the isolated description of the species into one coherent taxonomy. The description of ''Linepithema fuscum'' was initially based on a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Argentine Ant
The Argentine ant (''Linepithema humile''), formerly ''Iridomyrmex humilis'', is an ant native to northern Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and southern Brazil. It is an invasive species that has been established in many Mediterranean climate areas, inadvertently introduced by humans to many places, including South Africa, New Zealand, Japan, Easter Island, Australia, Europe, Hawaii, and the continental United States. Description The worker ants are long and can easily squeeze through cracks and holes as small as in size. Queens are long, much smaller than other species of ants. These ants will set up quarters in the ground, in cracks in concrete walls, in spaces between boards and timbers, even among belongings in human dwellings. In natural areas, they generally nest shallowly in loose leaf litter or beneath small stones, due to their poor ability to dig deeper nests. However, if a deeper nesting ant species abandons their nest, Argentine ant colonies will readily ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Linepithema Micans
''Linepithema micans'' is a small species of ant from the genus ''Linepithema'' which was described by Forel in 1908. This ant is endemic to southern South America. In Brazil, it is considered a pest of vineyards in acting as the main species associated with the coccid ''Eurhizococcus brasiliensis'' (Wille, 1922) (Hemiptera: Margarodidae). It is still a poorly studied species. Their abundant larvae are round and whitish, almost indistinguishable from the proximate species ''Linepithema humile'', better known as the invasive Argentine ant The Argentine ant (''Linepithema humile''), formerly ''Iridomyrmex humilis'', is an ant native to northern Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and southern Brazil.
