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] |
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 ...

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 ...
