PALABRAS CLAVE: Hormigas, Clasificación, Diversidad, México. ABSTRACT: An update list of ants species from Mexico are presented, considering recent taxonomic changes and taxonomical proposals for the clasification of Formicidae. KEY WORDS: Ants, Clasification, Diversity, Mexico. INTRODUCCIÓN en el grupo Prenolepis (LaPolla et al., 2010); otros se han dividido, Pachycondyla (Schmidt y Las hormigas son el grupo de insectos más Shattuck, 2014). exitoso en los ambientes terrestres, con una diversidad de casi 13,000 especies (Agosti y Para la familia Formicadae en México las Johnson, 2005). México es un país que se revisiones recientes para el género localiza entre las regiones Neotropical y Eurhopalothrix (Longino, 2013a), Neártica, lo que resulta en una compleja Leptanilloides (Borowiec & Longino, 2011), topografía y una gran diversidad biológica Leptogenys (Lattke, 2011), Megalomyrmex (Vásquez-Bolaños y Quiroz-Rocha, 2013); las (Boudinot et al., 2013), Nylanderia (Kallal y hormigas de México son un grupo poco LaPolla, 2012), Octostruma (Longino, 2013b), explorado, se reportan 884 especies (Vásquez- Odontomachus (MacGown et al., 2014), Bolaños, 2011) y posteriormente 973 especies Pachycondyla (Mackay y Mackay, 2010), (Ríos-Casanova, 2014).

Se seleccionó el material en el que Polyergus, Probolomyrmex, Sericomyrmex, se menciona la entidad federativa y se elaboró Tatuidris, Thaumatomyrmex, Tranopelta, una lista en donde se incluyen las especies de Trichomyrmex, Veromessor, Wasmannia y hormigas y el estado de México en el que se han Zatania, esto habla de que en México se encontrado. No se consideraron aquellas encuentran los límites de distribución de los especies que aparecen sin localidad. La lista de géneros mencionados por un lado, o se trata de especies se adapta a la actual propuesta de especies introducidas por otro. Los estados con clasificación taxonómica para la familia el mayor número de especies conocidas son: Formicidae. Veracruz y Chiapas, la riqueza específica se concentra en el sur del país; aunque hay RESULTADOS Y DISCUSIÓN regiones en el centro y norte que no se han explorado adecuadamente. Las especies con En la actual taxonomía de hormigas, basada en mayor distribución en México son: Atta propuestas filogenéticas, a nivel mundial se han mexicana, Solenopsis geminata, Paratrechina realizado cambios importantes y significativos longicornis, Pogonomyrmex barbatus, en la clasificación de la familia Formicdae; para Pseudomyrmex pallidus y Labidus coecus. México se conocen 927 especies, 93 géneros y once subfamilias de hormigas, un número A pesar de que en México no se ha trabajado lo mayor al reportado en 2011 (Vásquez-Bolaños, suficiente con taxonomía de Formicidae, por la 2011) pero menor al de 2014 (Ríos-Casanova, falta de especialistas, se tiene una gran cantidad 2014), esto se debe a las sinonimias que se han de especies gracias a las contribuciones que en presentado en los últimos años ya que se los últimos años han realizado mirmecólogos excluyeron las especies sin localidad. mexicanos.

    Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List

    Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List Associated Tables The Texas Priority Species List……………..733 Introduction For many years the management and conservation of wildlife species has focused on the individual animal or population of interest. Many times, directing research and conservation plans toward individual species also benefits incidental species; sometimes entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, there are times when highly focused research and conservation of particular species can also harm peripheral species and their habitats. Management that is focused on entire habitats or communities would decrease the possibility of harming those incidental species or their habitats. A holistic management approach would potentially allow species within a community to take care of themselves (Savory 1988); however, the study of particular species of concern is still necessary due to the smaller scale at which individuals are studied. Until we understand all of the parts that make up the whole can we then focus more on the habitat management approach to conservation. Species Conservation In terms of species diversity, Texas is considered the second most diverse state in the Union. Texas has the highest number of bird and reptile taxon and is second in number of plants and mammals in the United States (NatureServe 2002). There have been over 600 species of bird that have been identified within the borders of Texas and 184 known species of mammal, including marine species that inhabit Texas’ coastal waters (Schmidly 2004). It is estimated that approximately 29,000 species of insect in Texas take up residence in every conceivable habitat, including rocky outcroppings, pitcher plant bogs, and on individual species of plants (Riley in publication).

Several intriguing life history traits have been Formicidae described for the genus, the best-known of which are replete workers, that store liquified food in their largely Molecular Systematics expanded crops and are colloquially referred to as “honeypots”. Despite their interesting biology and ecological Myrmecocystus importance for arid ecosystems, the evolutionary history of Myrmecocystus ants is largely unknown and the Phylogenomics Ultraconserved elements current taxonomy presents an unsatisfactory systematic framework.
