Paratrechina Zanjensis
''Paratrechina zanjensis'' is an African species of ant in the genus ''Paratrechina''. It is one of two species in the genus, the other being the longhorn crazy ant (''Paratrechina longicornis''). Habitat and distribution The species in known from Tanzania, Angola and Mozambique. Very little is known about the natural history of ''Paratrechina zanjensis''; the 23 specimens collected in the Mkuju River region of the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania were all found in 48-hour pitfall trap samples while none were found in the 40 Winkler-extracted leaf litter samples collected during daytime along the same transects. The two Tanzanian sites in which ''Paratrechina zanjensis'' were found were representative of mature dry miombo woodland, while they appeared to be absent from both dry and moist closed canopy forest sites nearby. The Angola and Mozambique specimens were also collected in miombo woodlands; this, in combination with the absence of ''Paratrechina zanjensis'' from 15 forest ...

Nylanderia
''Nylanderia'' is a large genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae. The genus has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution with species inhabiting a wide array of habitats in almost all geographic regions. ''Nylanderia'', currently containing over 110 species, is an ecologically important genus, with some species reported as being invasive. The ants are small to medium in size and range in color from pale yellow to black. Taxonomy The genus was first described as a subgenus of ''Prenolepis'' by Emery (1906), a status he revised a couple of years later when he placed it as subgenus of ''Paratrechina'' (Emery, 1925). Wheeler (1936) raised ''Nylanderia'' to genus, where it remained until Brown (1973) provisionally placed it as a junior synonym of ''Paratrechina'', a status which was later confirmed by Trager (1984). ''Nylanderia'' was finally revived from synonymy and restored at the rank of genus by LaPolla, Brady & Shattuck (2010). Until 2010, most ''Nylanderia'' species were placed ...

Longhorn Crazy Ant
The longhorn crazy ant (''Paratrechina longicornis''), also known as "black crazy ant", is a species of small, dark-coloured insect in the family Formicidae. These ants are commonly called "crazy ants" because instead of following straight lines, they dash around erratically. They have a broad distribution, including much of the tropics and subtropics, and are also found in buildings in more temperate regions, making them one of the most widespread ant species in the world. This species, as well as all others in the ant subfamily Formicinae, cannot sting. However, this species can fire/shoot a formic acid spray from its abdomen when under attack by other insects or attacking other insects. When the longhorn crazy ant (''Paratrechina longicornis'') bends its abdomen while aiming at an enemy insect, it is most likely shooting its hard-to-see acid. This acid is normally not used on humans and normally does not affect humans. The ''black crazy ant'' can not harm humans in any way. Th ...

Paraparatrechina
''Paraparatrechina'' is a genus of small ants in the subfamily Formicinae. The genus contains 31 species distributed in the tropics of Africa, Asia and Australia. Distribution and habitat The genus is restricted to the Paleotropics. Thirteen species are known from the Afrotropical and Malagasy regions, and twenty-five species and subspecies from Asia and Australia, although preliminary study suggests that there are many undescribed species. Very little is known about the biology of ''Paraparatrechina'' in the Afrotropical and Malagasy regions. They have been found in a wide range of tropical habitats from rainforests to forest clearings in sifted leaf litter, rotten logs, under stones, and from beating vegetation and fogging samples from the forest canopy. Taxonomy ''Paraparatrechina'' was first described as a subgenus of ''Paratrechina'' by Donisthorpe (1947). LaPolla ''et al.'' (2010a) elevated the formerly synonymized subgenus to genus rank based on both morphological and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
