We describe the behaviour of Dolichoderus quadripunctatus (L.), an oligogyne ant species, during baiting experiments. Numerous alate gynes (mostly unmated) walked along foraging trails of conspecific workers, but only occasionally a gyne licked the carbohydrate food regularly consumed by the workers. Based on the behaviour of these gynes and previous knowledge of the structure of the foraging trails of D. quadripunctatus within polydomous colonies, the structure and social organisation of these colonies, and the biology of the species, we suggest that gynes may use a previously undescribed means of dispersal. By not returning to her birth nest but walking along intersecting trails, an alate gyne may fortuitously find an auxiliary queenless nest and become adopted there. This behaviour adds to the dispersal tactics known or suggested earlier. We discuss these by evaluating the published data, and conclude that the spatial pattern of colonies have been described in detail, but the means of dispersal of D. quadripunctatus gynes and colony are still poorly documented. Plausible means have been proposed, some potentially leading to supercolonies covering large areas.","PeriodicalId":50775,"journal":{"name":"Annales Zoologici","volume":"14 1","pages":"235 - 245"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78420939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The L. kuatunensis group is composed of five species, including L. kuatunensis (Wittmer, 1995), L. svihlai (Wittmer, 1995) comb. nov., L. nigroapicis Y. Yang et X. Yang, 2013, L. bifurcatus Y.

These two groups differ from each other in the aedeagus possessing longitudinal ridges on inner surface of conjoint dorsal plates of parameres or not, laterophyses compressed or slender, accessory gland uniformly thin or slightly enlarged apically. A morphological phylogenetic analysis shows that the two new groups are closer to the L. canthariformis subgroup of the L. vitellinus group due to the similarity in their aedeagi.

Agroecomyrmecinae is a poorly-known subfamily of ants that includes just two extant genera and species, Tatuidris tatusia Brown et Kempf, 1968, a leaf-litter dweller from the Neotropics, and Ankylomyrma coronacantha Bolton, 1973, an arboreal inhabitant from West Africa. Two Agroecomyrmecinae genera have been described from Eocene fossils: Agroecomyrmex Wheeler, 1910 found in European amber (Baltic and Bitterfeld), and Eulithomyrmex Carpenter, 1935 found in North American shale (Florissant). There are published records of just seven specimens of Agroecomyrmex duisburgi (Mayr, 1868), the sole member of its genus. We found four additional A. duisburgi specimens, three from Baltic amber and one from Rovno (Ukraine) amber of similar age (Priabonian stage, 37.8–33.9 Ma). This increases number of known ant subfamilies in Rovno amber to 10, and indicates that Agroecomyrmecinae were distributed in the late Eocene on both the northern and southern coasts of the Paratethys Sea. Based on morphological features and the rarity of fossil remains, we suggest that Agroecomyrmex and Eulithomyrmex were most likely neither litter-dwelling nor arboreal, but were epigean species, living on the soil surface.","PeriodicalId":50775,"journal":{"name":"Annales Zoologici","volume":"1 1","pages":"261 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89592612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
