Abstract

Totally 126 species from 43 genera and 7 subfamilies of ants have been found in the Buxa Tiger Reserve. Of them Tetramorium curtulum Emery, 1895, Calyptomyrmex friederikae Kutter, 1976 and Dolichoderus brevis Santschi, 1920 are recorded from India for the first time. Six rare species are also found here, viz. Gesomyrmex spatulatus Cole, 1949, Rhopalomastix rothneyi Forel, 1900, Colobopsis cotesii (Forel, 1893), Colobopsis vitrea angustula (Emery, 1925), and Camponotus selene (Emery, 1889). The diversity and distribution pattern of different species opens avenue for considering this protected area as a gene pool for ant diversity in West Bengal.

作为西孟加拉邦蚂蚁多样性 "热点 "的布萨老虎保护区（膜翅目：蚁科）

在布萨老虎保护区共发现了 43 属 7 亚科 126 种蚂蚁。其中，Tetramorium curtulum Emery，1895 年；Calyptomyrmex friederikae Kutter，1976 年；Dolichoderus brevis Santschi，1920 年首次在印度被记录。这里还发现了六个稀有物种，即 Gesomyrmex spatulatus Cole, 1949、Rhopalomastix rothneyi Forel, 1900、Colobopsis cotesii（Forel, 1893）、Colobopsis vitrea angustula（Emery, 1925）和 Camponotus selene（Emery, 1889）。不同物种的多样性和分布模式为将该保护区视为西孟加拉邦蚂蚁多样性基因库开辟了道路。

期刊介绍： Far Eastern Entomologist is a rapid journal in English with Russian summary which publishes the original papers on entomology, including taxonomy, systematic, morphology, phylogeny, as well biology, ecology, and biogeography. The reviews, comprehensive or revisionary studies of the insects, the phylogeny and taxonomic catalogues are preferred of insect groups are especially welcome and have priority for the publication. The area covered by the journal is extended from Chukotka to South-East Asia and from Ural Mountains to Japan.
