Procryptocerus
''Procryptocerus'' is a Neotropical genus of gliding ants, with the ability to "parachute" by steering their fall if they drop off of the tree they're on. Distribution ''Procryptocerus'' inhabits rainforests from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico to northern Argentina. Due to their cryptic habits, living inside twigs, these ants are rarely collected. At present, most species are known from Central America, Colombia and Brazil. Taxonomy The genus was created by Emery (1887) to include species of Neotropical ants that were considered similar to those of the Paleotropical genus '' Cataulacus''. ''Procryptocerus'' has been the object of two revisionary studies. Kempf (1951) revised the entire genus and Longino and Snelling (2002) the Central American species. Kempf (1951) recognized 28 species, and 8 subspecies, while for Central America Longino and Snelling (2002) recognized 14 species, described four new species, synonymized two species, and elevated two subspecies to specie ...
