{"title":"Karyotype of Conomyrma flava (McCook) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)","authors":"J. Cokendolpher, Norm Johnson, O. F. Francke, Joe Cora","doi":"10.5281/ZENODO.26641","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5281/ZENODO.26641","url":null,"abstract":"-The karyotype (2N = 26) of the ant Conomyrma flava is reported from material collected in central Texas. The chromosome numbers and morphology match those of Cono mnyrma bicolor from the western U.S.A. more closely than those of Conomyrma spp. from Peru and Brasil. A lactic acid dissociation, air-drying technique with Giemsa staining for ant chro mosomes is described. Conomyrma Forel and all its species were considered to belong in Dorymyrmex Santschi, until Kusnezov (1952) separated the two genera, Dorymyrmex and Cono inyrma. He further divided Conomyrma into two subgenera, Biconomyrma Kus nezov and Conomyrma. Although these subgenera subsequently were elevated to generic status by Kusnezov (1959), Biconomyrma was later synonymized with Cono inyrma by Snelling (1973). The taxonomy of the North American Conomyrmna species is uncertain, and the genus is in need of revision. Snelling (1973) synonymized all but three of the nominal taxa from the U.S.A. One species, C. insana (Buckley), cannot be recognized with certainty because the type material is lost (J. C. E. Nickerson and J. C. Trager, pers. comm.) and the original description (Buckley, 1866) is vague. Conomyrma flava (McCook) was synonymized with C. insana by Snelling (1973), but has since been determined to be a valid species by the late William F. Buren (J. C. Trager, pers. comm.). We use the name C.flava for the specimens reported here and have deposited voucher specimens, as indicated below, for later study. Apparently unaware of the taxonomic changes proposed by Kusnezov (1952), Crozier (1968, 1970) reported the karyotypes of the following three species of Cono myrma: Dorymyrmex bicolor (Wheeler), Dorymyrmex ?thoracius (Santschi), and Do rymyrmex ?pulchellus (Santschi) (=Dorymyrmex sp. in 1968 paper). Two of the species reported by Crozier are from South America, whereas C. bicolor is from the U.S.A. We herein report the karyotype of a second Conomyrma sp. from North America. MATERIALS AND METHODS Workers and brood of Conomyrmaflava (McCook) collected at Camp Verde, Kerr Co., Texas, were maintained in the laboratory until suitable material (last instar larvae) became available. Slides were prepared from five larvae and scored for diploid number and centromeric position. i Supported by the Texas Department of Agriculture Interagency Agreement IAC (83-84) 0853.

A 1% sodium citrate and 0.075 M KCI hypotonic solutions were used for times from 5 to 30 minutes, respectively. Although all preparations were similar in chromosome spacing among individual spreads, the best results were obtained using 0.075 M KCI solution for 15 to 20 minutes. The heads were fixed in Carnoy's fixative (3:1 absolute meth anol: glacial acetic acid) for 30 minutes and then placed in a drop of dissociate solution (","PeriodicalId":114420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The New York Entomological Society","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131447420","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}
