Liometopum
''Liometopum'' is a genus of ants that belongs to the subfamily Dolichoderinae, found in North America, Europe and Asia. Caterpillars of certain butterfly species have a symbiotic relationship with ''Liometopum'' ants. They produce secretions that the ants will feed on, similar to the behavior of the ant genus ''Iridomyrmex''.

Liometopum Masonium
''Liometopum apiculatum'' is a species of ant in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. ''Liometopum apiculatum'' ants are found in arid and semi-arid regions of southwestern United States and Mexico to Quintana Roo. Taxonomy ''Liometopum apiculatum'' was first described by Mayr (1870), who described the workers of this species. Emery (1895) later described the queens of this species; Wheeler (1905) described the males and Wheeler & Wheeler (1951) described the larvae. Shattuck (1994) considered ''L. apiculatum'' a senior synonym of ''Liometopum masonium''. This species was also confirmed by Del Toro ''et al.'' (2009).

Liometopum Occidentale
''Liometopum occidentale'', also called the velvety tree ant, is a species of ant in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. ''Liometopum occidentale'' is often mistaken for carpenter ants (''Camponotus'' spp.) by homeowners and pest management professionals. This mistaken identity is due to Morphology (biology), morphological and behavioral characteristics they share with carpenter ants; namely polymorphic workers, a smooth convex thoracic profile, and the tendency to excavate wood. Consequently, their importance as structural pests may be greatly under reported, especially in California, Oregon, and Washington (state), Washington, United States. Taxonomy ''Liometopum occidentale'' was originally described as ''Liometopum microcephalum'' var. ''occidentale'' by . relocated it to a variety of ''Liometopum apiculatum''. It was finally elevated to the species level by and remained there in a recent taxonomic review by Del Toro et al. (2009). Habitat ''Liometopum occidentale'' is found from ...

Liometopum Luctuosum
''Liometopum luctuosum'' is a species of ant in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. ''Liometopum luctuosum'' is often mistaken for carpenter ants (''Camponotus'' spp.) by homeowners and pest management professionals. This mistaken identity is due to morphological and behavioral characteristics they share with carpenter ants; namely polymorphic workers, a smooth convex thoracic profile, and the tendency to excavate wood. ''L. luctuosum'' are also often confused with '' Tapinoma sessile'' since they have the same coloration, are similar in size, and produce an alarm pheromone with a very similar odor. Consequently, their importance as structural pests may be greatly under reported, especially in California, Oregon, and Washington, United States. Taxonomy ''Liometopum luctuosum'' was originally named '' Liometopum apiculatum'' subsp. ''luctuosum'' by and . reclassified it as a subspecies of ''Liometopum occidentale''. It was elevated to species level by , and subsequently confirmed by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liometopum Imhoffii
''Liometopum imhoffii'' is an extinct species of ants in the dolichoderine genus ''Liometopum''. The species was described from a number of Early Miocene fossils found in what is now Croatia. History and classification The original group of fossils that the type species, and three other species, were described from are preserved as compression fossils in sedimentary rock from the Radoboj area of what is now Croatia. The deposits are the result of sedimentation in an inland sea basin, possibly a shallow lagoon environment, during the Burdigalian of the Early Miocene. Along with ''L. imhoffii'' a diverse assemblage of several hundred species of insects have been preserved in the sediments, along with fish and algae. The fossil impressions are preserved in micrite limestones, resulting in low quality preservation of fine details. The insect fossils were first studied by Oswald Heer, then a professor with the University of Zürich, who placed the fossils in four new ant spe ...
