Abstract

Pheidole Westwood, 1839 is a hyperdiverse ant genus that is widely distributed in a variety of terrestrial ecosystems, especially in the tropics. The identification of Pheidole species is challenging, thus contributing to the description of several questionable morphospecies in the literature and making the geographic distribution of most species uncertain. In this work, we present the first records of Pheidole tijucana Borgmeier, 1927 from the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The specimens were recorded at Parque Ibirapuera Conservação, an urban green area located in the southern part of the city of São Paulo. The sampling was performed in 2015, 2016, and 2017 using pitfall traps. In total, 224 specimens (one major worker and 223 minor workers) of P. tijucana were recorded. Our new data help fill a distribution gap and highlights the importance of reporting species that are a challenge to identify.

文章标题巴西圣保罗州菲多尔虫，1927(膜翅目，蚁科)的发生

Pheidole Westwood, 1839是一个高度多样化的蚂蚁属，广泛分布于各种陆地生态系统中，特别是在热带地区。菲多勒物种的鉴定具有挑战性，因此导致文献中一些可疑形态物种的描述，并使大多数物种的地理分布不确定。在这项工作中，我们介绍了1927年来自巴西圣保罗州的Pheidole tijuana Borgmeier的第一批记录。这些标本是在位于圣保罗市南部的城市绿地Parque Ibirapuera conserva o记录的。在2015年、2016年和2017年使用陷阱进行了采样。共记录到tijuana大工虫1只，小工虫223只，共224只。我们的新数据有助于填补分布差距，并强调报告物种的重要性，这是一个挑战，以确定。

期刊介绍： Check List is a peer-reviewed online journal, devoted to publishing biodiversity data related to species’ geographic distribution. Thus, our primary mission if to fill the so-called Wallacean shortfall (Lomolino 2004) and to improve our knowledge of how life is distributed on the planet in order to better preserve it. These data are essential for studies on biogeography and provide a baseline for the conservation of biodiversity. The first step to undertaking effective conservation action is to maintain records of the distribution of species. Therefore, the journal was created from the need publish basic data on species distribution of any taxon in a timely and open manner, which are often neglected by traditional journals. Check List is a bimonthly peer-reviewed online journal, and will consider for publication: -distribution summaries of a supraspecific taxon in a broad geographic area (e.g., hemisphere, country, biome), as a review of the distribution of a taxon in the given area. -annotated list of species, of a given taxon in a strict geographic area, with comments and illustrations on the identifications, based on original data. -notes on the geographic distribution, reporting new records of one or more species while providing a complete overview on the known distribution of the treated taxa. -book reviews on books related to biodiversity, biogeography, niche modeling, or any associated field that uses species distribution as its primary data source. -opinions on relevant subjects for the journal’s mission and scope
