Here, we describe a new raider ant species, <i>Ooceraeahainingensis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, from Zhejiang, China. This species is closely related to <i>O.biroi</i> but can be distinguished by the following features: 1) workers of <i>O.hainingensis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> have an obvious promesonotal suture and a metanotal groove, whereas these characters are ambiguous in <i>O.biroi</i>; and 2) the subpetiolar process of <i>O.hainingensis</i> is prominent and anteroventrally directed like a thumb with sublinear posteroventral margin, while in <i>O.biroi</i>, it is anteroventrally directed but slightly backward-bent. Molecular phylogenetic analyses confirm that <i>O.hainingensis</i> is genetically distinct from <i>O.biroi</i>. Importantly, unlike <i>O.biroi</i>, <i>O.hainingensis</i> has a queen caste with wings and well-developed eyes. This suggests that the loss of the queen caste and transition to asexual reproduction by workers is specific to <i>O.biroi</i> and occurred after that species diverged from closely related congeneric species.</p>","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11211655/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141471139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
