{"title":"Ants of the genus Acropyga Roger, with description of a new species.","authors":"W. M. Wheeler, Norm Johnson, Joe Cora","doi":"10.5281/ZENODO.25260","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5281/ZENODO.25260","url":null,"abstract":"Within recent years Acropyga, which seemed to be a rather insignificant genus of tropical Formicine ants, has been acquiring a reputation as a serious though indirect pest in certain South American countries. The receipt of an undescribed species of this genus together with its very interesting symbiotic coccids from Mr. E. J. H. Berwick of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture in Trinidad, B. W. I., has led me therefore to review briefly some of the published accounts of these insects. Emery, in the \"Genera Insectorum\" (1925), has divided the genus Acropyga into four subgenera: Acropyga s. str. (5 species), Rhizomyrma Forel (18 species), Atopodon Forel (5 species) and Malacomyrma Emery, with a single species. Acropyga and Atopodon are confined to the Indomalayan and Papuo-Australian regions. Rhizomyrma has a similar distribution in the Old World but is also represented and by an even greater number of species in Middle and South America and in the Antilles. The single species of Malacomyrma (M. silvestrii Emery) is known only from Eritrea. At first sight the workers of all four sub genera closely resemble those of our North American species of Lasius of the subgenus Acanthomyops Mayr in their small size, smooth, yellow integument and small or vestigial eyes, but closer examination shows that they are peculiar in having a reduced and variable number of antennal joints in all three castes. More over, like the species of Acanthomyops, all the Acropygae are ex quisitely hypogaeic, or subterranean ants devoted to fostering and disseminating root-coccids. Since the ants and their cher ished coccids may be locally very numerous, especially in planta tions, it is easy to see how certain economic plants may suffer serious injury through loss of sap or more indirectly, as will be shown in the sequel, by infection with pathogenic organisms transmitted by the coccids, after they have been transported to healthy plants by their hosts. The following accounts, with one exception, refer to species of Rhizomyrma and their coccids.","PeriodicalId":114420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The New York Entomological Society","volume":"252 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1935-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133558751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chapman has brought another extensive collection of Philippine ants. Among them are numerous specimens taken from more than 40 different AEnictus colonies, and comprising the extra ordinary females of two of the species (zE. Iceviceps F. Smith and martini Forel), together with the larvae, insect prey and myrmecophiles (aenictophiles) of many of the foraging and bivouacking armies. Dr. Chapman will publish his ethological observations in a separate paper. The following taxonomic account, for which he has very generously contributed the speci mens, should supersede our notes on the Philippine zEnicti pub lished in our joint paper of 1925 and based on rather meager material. The genus AEnictus comprises some 119 described forms (82 species, 11 subspecies, 26 varieties) and is both taxonomically and ethologically the least adequately understood of the larger genera of Doryline ants. It is confined to the Old World, where it replaces the closely allied New World genus Eciton, but it has a very wide range, embracing the whole of Africa, the Indo malayan and Papuan Regions and Northeastern Australia. Most of the forms inhabit the Indomalayan Region (42 species, 7 subspecies, 17 varieties), but the African representation is not greatly inferior (34 species, 4 subspecies, 9 varieties). At the extreme limits of the range, however, the number of forms is greatly diminished, there being only six species in Africa north of the Sahara (Morocco, Oran, Tunis) and only three in Aus tralia (Queensland, New South Wales). No 1Anictus occurs in the Malagasy Region, which also lacks any species of Dorylus, the only other Old World genus of the subfamily Dorylinse.","PeriodicalId":114420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The New York Entomological Society","volume":"553 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1930-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134396264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
