Profesor Asociado, Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Apartado 7495, Bogotá D.C., Colombia [email protected] Abstract The new myrmicine genus Tyrannomyrmex is described based on a solitary worker from Negri Sembilam, Malaysia. The principal traits of the ant are mandibles with two teeth, inner modified setae on the ventral margin of mandibles, and mesosoma devoid of any groove or suture. This new genus somewhat resembles the Adelomyrmex genus-group (particularly Baracidris from Africa) especially because of the modified setae; the structure is different, however (cylindric in Tyranno- myrmex, spatulate in Adelomyrmex genus-group) and the similarity may be a convergence. The antennal and clypeal configuration, as well as tooth number, distance the genus from the adelomyr- mecines. The genus is described from a single species, T. rex n. sp., from Malaysia. A discussion of the affinities with Adelomyrmex genus-group is presented. Key words: Ants, Formicidae, Malaysia, Tyrannomyrmex rex Introduction Although there have been advances in the systematics and phylogeny of some ant groups, we are still far from a complete understanding of the taxonomy and phylogeny of the ants (Brown, 2000). This is especially true for the subfamily Myrmicinae, for which there are no modern proposals for the internal classification of its component species. With a few exceptions, we do no know the limits or relationships of most of the proposed supraspe- cific taxa, thus unfortunately the genus described here cannot be placed reliably in a tribe or genus group.

  • A New Species of Tyrannomyrmex (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Sri Lanka
    Zootaxa 3721 (3): 286–290 ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2013 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3721.3.5 http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:9DDC4412-79C3-4894-BBA0-DBB708AD9B82 A new species of Tyrannomyrmex (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Sri Lanka GARY D. ALPERT Entomology Department, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Tyrannomyrmex legatus sp. nov. is described based on a single worker collected from leaf litter in dipterocarp forest in southern Sri Lanka. A key is presented to separate the three known species of Tyrannomyrmex. A probable male specimen of the genus from the Philippines is noted. Tyrannomyrmex is placed within the tribe Solenopsidini and close to the genus Monomorium. Key words: Ants, Sri Lanka, Tyrannomyrmex, new species, taxonomy Introduction In 2003, Fernández described a new genus and species, Tyrannomyrmex rex, from peninsular Malaysia based on a single specimen collected from leaf litter at Negri Sembilan, Pasoh Forest Reserve in 1994 (Fernández 2003). Fernández was unable to place the new genus in any existing myrmicine tribe although several potential candidates were considered including the Adelomyrmecini and Solenopsidini. Without additional specimens or molecular data this genus was temporarily placed as incertae sedis within the subfamily Myrmicinae. Since then, a second species, T. dux Borowiec has been described based on a single specimen collected from leaf litter in southern India in 1999 (Borowiec 2007). In addition, Brian Heterick (pers. obs.) recognized a single male collected from a light trap in the Philippines in 1965 as possibly representing the male of an otherwise unknown species of Tyrannomyrmex.
