Tyrannomyrmex
''Tyrannomyrmex'' is a rare tropical genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Three similar species, only known from workers, are recognized and share small eyes and edentate mandibles. Species Two of the species are known only from single worker specimens, but a single male specimen collected in 1965 possibly represents the male of an otherwise unknown species, and ''T. alii'' is known from a series of over 35 gynes and workers. So far, all species of ''Tyrannomyrmex'' occur in tropical Old World forests. The wide distribution range from India and Sri Lanka in the west to peninsular Malaysia and perhaps the Philippine archipelago in the east suggests that more species may be discovered. * ''Tyrannomyrmex alii'' Sadasivan & Kripakaran, 2017 - Western Ghats, India * ''Tyrannomyrmex dux'' Borowiec, 2007 – Kerala, India * ''Tyrannomyrmex legatus'' Alpert, 2013 – Sinharaja Forest Reserve, Sri Lanka * ''Tyrannomyrmex rex'' Fernández, 2003 – Negri Sembilan, ...

Tyrannomyrmex Alii
''Tyrannomyrmex alii'' is a species of tropical ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. ''T. alii'' is native to the Western Ghats in India. The species was described from workers and a winged queen, the first ''Tyrannomyrmex'' species in which a queen has been described, while the males are not known. Three additional species are also known, with one also being native to the Western Ghats. Distribution and habitat The only known location where ''T. alii'' has been found is in the Western Ghats Periyar National Park in the Idukki district of southern India. The region is considered to be among the major world biodiversity hotspots. The habitat consisted of an old-growth evergreen forest at an elevation of . The specimens were found in dry soil under a rotting log near the base of a tree. The shaded area, near the base of a slope, with the rotting log provided the microhabitat where the ants live, with the nest suggested to be present in the upper layer of soil and lowest porti ...

Tyrannomyrmex Legatus
''Tyrannomyrmex legatus'' is a tropical Old World species of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. It is only known from a single worker from Sri Lanka. Gynes and males are unknown. Distribution and habitat This single specimen was collected from leaf litter in lowland dipterocarp forest in southern Sri Lanka, near a stream at the bottom of a slope in the drier period of the year. Description ''T. legatus'' is most easily distinguished from '' T. rex'' and '' T. dux'' by differences in pilosity, sculpture and the shape of the petiole and postpetiole. ''T. rex'' is almost lacking pilosity on the mesosomal dorsum, while the whole dorsal surface is covered with long erect hairs in ''T. legatus'' and ''T. dux''. The foveolation is weaker in ''T. rex'', especially on the mesosoma where the foveae on the mesosoma are small with most interspaces equal or wider than their diameter. ''T. legatus'' can be most easily separated from ''T. dux'' by the shape of the petiole, which is much mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Myrmicinae
Myrmicinae is a subfamily of ants, with about 140 extant genera; their distribution is cosmopolitan. The pupae lack cocoons. Some species retain a functional sting. The petioles of Myrmicinae consist of two nodes. The nests are permanent and in soil, rotting wood, under stones, or in trees.Goulet, H & Huber, JT (eds.) (1993) Hymenoptera of the world: an identification guide to families. Agriculture Canada. p. 224 Identification Myrmicine worker ants have a distinct postpetiole, i.e., abdominal segment III is notably smaller than segment IV and set off from it by a well-developed constriction; the pronotum is inflexibly fused to the rest of the mesosoma, such that the promesonotal suture is weakly impressed or absent, and a functional sting is usually present. The clypeus is well-developed; as a result, the antennal sockets are well separated from the anterior margin of the head. Most myrmicine genera possess well-developed eyes and frontal lobes that partly conceal the an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Monomorium
''Monomorium'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. As of 2013 it contains about 396 species. It is distributed around the world, with many species native to the Old World tropics. It is considered to be "one of the more important groups of ants," considering its widespread distribution, its diversity, and its variety of morphological and biological characteristics. It also includes several familiar pest species, such as the pharaoh ant (''M. pharaonis'') and the flower ant (''M. floricola''). Description This genus is very diverse in morphology, with species of many shapes and sizes that "do not necessarily even remotely resemble one another" at first glance. While the worker caste is monomorphic in some species, in others it is polymorphic. In some species the workers are minute, in others they are rather large. Large, multifaceted eyes are common, but ''M. inusuale'' has much reduced eyes, as do some species from Africa. The sting is always functional.Fernández, ...

Adelomyrmex
''Adelomyrmex'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Species of ''Adelomyrmex'' are small, litter-inhabiting ants most often collected in Berlese and Winkler samples. Although the genus and its relatives have a pantropical distribution, Central American cloud forests are the only places where they are abundant and diverse. Habitat and distribution The center of ''Adelomyrmex'' abundance and diversity is Central America, and a few far-flung species occur in New Guinea, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, New Caledonia, and Isla del Coco. Several ''Adelomyrmex'' species are mountain-top endemics with very restricted ranges, and climate change clearly poses the threat of mountain-top extinction. The geographic range of the genus in the New World is (1) the mainland from northern Mexico to Amazonian Brazil; (2) the Galápagos, where the mainland species ''A. myops'' is probably recently introduced; and (3) Isla del Coco, a small oceanic island north of the Galápagos, with a hig ...

Dipterocarp Forest
Dipterocarpaceae is a family of 16 genera and about 695 known species of mainly tropical lowland rainforest trees. The family name, from the type genus ''Dipterocarpus'', is derived from Greek (''di'' = two, ''pteron'' = wing and ''karpos'' = fruit) and refers to the two-winged fruit. The largest genera are ''Shorea'' (196 species), ''Hopea'' (104 species), ''Dipterocarpus'' (70 species), and ''Vatica'' (65 species).Ashton, P.S. Dipterocarpaceae. In ''Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak,'' Volume 5, 2004. Soepadmo, E., Saw, L. G. and Chung, R. C. K. eds. Government of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Many are large forest-emergent species, typically reaching heights of 40–70 m, some even over 80 m (in the genera ''Dryobalanops'', ''Hopea'' and ''Shorea''), with the tallest known living specimen (''Shorea faguetiana'') 93.0 m tall. The species of this family are of major importance in the timber trade. Their distribution is pantropical, from northern South America to Africa, the Sey ...
