Abstract

Based on the morphological characters of the worker caste, a taxonomic study of the ant genus Polyrhachis Smith 1857 from China was conducted. Two new species, Polyrhachis (Myrma) aureodorsalis, sp. nov. and Polyrhachis (Myrmhopla) mangensis, sp. nov. are described from Fujian and Yunnan Provinces, respectively. Detailed descriptions and high-resolution images for the new species are provided. Identification keys to the known Chinese species of the subgenera Myrma Billberg 1820 and Myrmhopla Forel 1915 are presented based on the worker caste. The ecological significance and potential morphological adaptations of the new species are briefly discussed.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Insect Science was founded with support from the University of Arizona library in 2001 by Dr. Henry Hagedorn, who served as editor-in-chief until his death in January 2014. The Entomological Society of America was very pleased to add the Journal of Insect Science to its publishing portfolio in 2014. The fully open access journal publishes papers in all aspects of the biology of insects and other arthropods from the molecular to the ecological, and their agricultural and medical impact.
