摘要

圣文森特岛的蚂蚁长期以来一直是加勒比海岛屿上记录最完整的蚂蚁群之一。100多年前在圣文森特采集的蚂蚁标本包括76个有效分类群。在圣文森特岛调查蚂蚁的10天里，我发现了11种以前的研究人员没有发现的蚂蚁。其中8种是广泛分布在新热带地区的物种(无尾鼩鼱、锁骨鼩鼱、长尾鼩鼱、ruginodis Odontomachus)、短尾鼩鼱(Pheidole exigua)、长尾鼩鼱(Pheidole moerens)、弯尾鼩鼱(Rogeria curvipubens)、皮质毛蜱(Solenopsis corticalis))，另外3种是旧大陆外来物种(Cardiocondyla mintia、Syllophopsis sechellensis、trichomymex destructor)。与邻近的大小相似的加勒比岛屿巴巴多斯和格林纳达相比，圣文森特的蚂蚁记录包括更多的新热带物种(72种)和更少的旧大陆外来物种(15种)。可能导致这种模式的因素是，与巴巴多斯和格林纳达相比，圣文森特有更多的山地地形，更多完整的森林，人口密度较低，国际游客较少。

Ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of St. Vincent, West Indies

The ants of Saint Vincent have long been one of the most thoroughly documented ant faunas of any Caribbean island. Ant specimens collected more than 100 years ago on St. Vincent include 76 valid taxa. In ten days surveying ants on Saint Vincent, I found eleven species not found by previous researchers. Eight are widespread Neotropical species (Anochetus inermis, Camponotus claviscapus, Cyphomyrmex minutus, Odontomachus ruginodis, Pheidole exigua, Pheidole moerens, Rogeria curvipubens, Solenopsis corticalis) and three are Old World exotics (Cardiocondyla minutior, Syllophopsis sechellensis, Trichomyrmex destructor). Ant records from St. Vincent include more Neotropical species (72) and fewer Old World exotic species (15) than the neighboring Caribbean islands of similar size: Barbados and Grenada. Factors that may contribute to this pattern are that, compared to Barbados and Grenada, Saint Vincent has more mountainous terrain, more intact forest, lower human population density, and fewer international tourist visits.

期刊介绍： SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes high quality articles that significantly contribute to the knowledge of Entomology, with emphasis on social insects. Articles previously submitted to other journals are not accepted. SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes original research papers and invited review articles on all aspects related to the biology, evolution and systematics of social and pre-social insects (Ants, Termites, Bees and Wasps). The journal is currently expanding its scope to incorporate the publication of articles dealing with other arthropods that exhibit sociality. Articles may cover a range of subjects such as ecology, ethology, morphology, population genetics, physiology, toxicology, reproduction, sociobiology, caste differentiation as well as economic impact and pest management.
