E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In this paper we list the ant species collected the Brazilian ant fauna are historically concentrated in in both remaining forests and urban areas in a South areas of the Cerrado (Schoereder et al. 2010; Camacho Amazonian landscape. The list includes 102 species, of and Vasconcelos 2015), Atlantic Forest (Silva et al. 2007; which 29 are new records for the state of Rondônia, Melo et al. 2014), and more recently in some localities Brazil. This work demonstrates the gap in ant biodiversity of the Pantanal (Battirola et al. 2005; Silva et al. 2013) surveys for Meridional Amazon as well as encouraging and Caatinga (Neves et al. 2013; Ulyssea and Brandão further research in this region. 2013). However, local surveys in the Brazilian Amazon have focused primarily on the central and eastern areas Key words: Amazon Forest; anthropic species; (Santos et al. 2008; Harada et al. 2013; Miranda et al.

To contribute to the knowledge Considering the arthropods that inhabit the soil or the of the ant diversity of the region that represents one canopy of tropical forests, ants (Insecta, Hymenoptera, of the main taxonomic gaps for the Neotropical fauna, Formicidae) are among the most abundant organisms, this paper lists the ant species found in urban areas and accounting for 90% of the individuals and up to 95% Amazon Forest fragments in the municipality of Cacoal, of the animal biomass in some localities (Moffett Rondônia, Brazil. 2000). Ants are a diverse group of eusocial insects both morphologically and behaviorally with about 13,000 MATERIALS AND METHODS described species (Kaspari 2005; Brandão et al. 2009; The study was conducted in the municipality of Bolton 2015).

At all sampling sites two collection methodologies Despite the importance of ant inventories to support were used. In the first methodology 10 attractive decision-making and mitigation plans of biodiversity traps containing about 1 cm3 of carbohydrate (honey) loss (Alonso and Agosti 2000) and ant diversity in and protein (sardine) baits were placed. All traps were the Neotropical region (Kempf 1972; Brandão 1991; randomly exposed at an average distance of 5 m from Fernandez and Sendoya 2004), local inventories of each other, at ground level, for a period of about 1 Check List | www.biotaxa.org/cl 1 Volume 12 | Number 3 | Article 1885 Santos-Silva et al. | Ant species of Cacoal, Rondônia, Brazil Figure 1.

  • Digging Deeper Into the Ecology of Subterranean Ants: Diversity and Niche Partitioning Across Two Continents
    diversity Article Digging Deeper into the Ecology of Subterranean Ants: Diversity and Niche Partitioning across Two Continents Mickal Houadria * and Florian Menzel Institute of Organismic and Molecular Evolution, Johannes-Gutenberg-University Mainz, Hanns-Dieter-Hüsch-Weg 15, 55128 Mainz, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Soil fauna is generally understudied compared to above-ground arthropods, and ants are no exception. Here, we compared a primary and a secondary forest each on two continents using four different sampling methods. Winkler sampling, pitfalls, and four types of above- and below-ground baits (dead, crushed insects; melezitose; living termites; living mealworms/grasshoppers) were applied on four plots (4 × 4 grid points) on each site. Although less diverse than Winkler samples and pitfalls, subterranean baits provided a remarkable ant community. Our baiting system provided a large dataset to systematically quantify strata and dietary specialisation in tropical rainforest ants. Compared to above-ground baits, 10–28% of the species at subterranean baits were overall more common (or unique to) below ground, indicating a fauna that was truly specialised to this stratum. Species turnover was particularly high in the primary forests, both concerning above-ground and subterranean baits and between grid points within a site. This suggests that secondary forests are more impoverished, especially concerning their subterranean fauna. Although subterranean ants rarely displayed specific preferences for a bait type, they were in general more specialised than above-ground ants; this was true for entire communities, but also for the same species if they foraged in both strata.

Branstetter2 1Department of Biology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, 2USDA-ARS Pollinating Insects Research Unit, Utah State University, Logan, UT 84322, and 3Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Subject Editor: Eduardo Almeida Received 18 January, 2020; Editorial decision 9 March, 2020 Abstract Rasopone Schmidt and Shattuck is a poorly known lineage of ants that live in Neotropical forests. Informed by phylogenetic results from thousands of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and mitochondrial DNA barcodes, we revise the genus, providing a new morphological diagnosis and a species-level treatment. Analysis of UCE data from many Rasopone samples and select outgroups revealed non-monophyly of the genus. Monophyly of Rasopone was restored by transferring several species to the unrelated genus Mayaponera Schmidt and Shattuck. Within Rasopone, species are morphologically very similar, and we provide a ‘bird guide’ approach to identification rather than the traditional dichotomous key. Species are arranged by size in a table, along with geographic range and standard images. Additional diagnostic information is then provided in individual species accounts. We recognize a total of 15 named species, of which the following are described as new species: R. costaricensis, R. cryptergates, R. cubitalis, R. guatemalensis, R. mesoamericana, R. pluviselva, R. politognatha, R. subcubitalis, and R. titanis. An additional 12 morphospecies are described but not for- mally named due to insufficient material.

Essas informações vêm sendo utilizadas no desenvolvimento de iscas que, para serem eficazes e economicamente viáveis, entre outras características, devem ser atrativas para várias espécies de formigas. No presente estudo avaliou- se em laboratório a atratividade alimentar de substâncias açucaradas e gordurosas para a espécie Camponotus vittatus, averiguando quais seriam os componentes mais adequados a serem introdu- zidos na composição da isca. Os testes foram realizados em cinco colônias, sendo avaliadas 68 substâncias açucaradas e 23 gordurosas. As mais atrativas foram o açúcar demerara 75% e a gordura vegetal. Quando ambas as substâncias foram testadas em conjunto, as açucaradas tiveram uma atratividade ligeiramente superior às gordurosas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Insecta, Formicinae, formiga carpinteira, iscas.
