Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat bermanfaat bagi guru dan peserta didik dalam proses belajar dan mengajar. Khususnya pada materi keanekaragaman makhluk hudup SMA kelas X. Penalitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan menggunakan teknik purposiv sampling, pengamatan secara langsung atau melihat keadaan yang memungkinkan adanya seabaran semut pada wilayah penelitian. Penelitan ini dilaksanakan di wilayah kampus UIN Raden Intan Lampung. Penangkapan semut menggunakan perangkap fit fall trap (perangkap sumuran) dan menggunakakn teknik jelajah. Hasil penagamatan diidentifikasi di laboratorium, kemudian dihitung dengan menggunakan, besar frekuensi sebaran (f) dan indeks keanekaragaman (Shanon Weiner). Hasil penelitian menunjukan Semut yang ditemukan pada wilayah kampus UIN Raden Intan lampung terdapat 9 jenis yang terdiri dari 4 genus Myrmicinae. Genus Solenopsis sp. memiliki indeks keanekaragaman (H‟) 0,35 dengan frekuensi sebaran 50%. Genus Paracidris sp. 0,34 dengan frekuensi sebaran 30%, Pedalgus sp. 0,32 dengan frekuensi sebaran 35%, dan Oligomyrmex sp. 0,24 dengan frekuensi sebaran 15%. Genus Solenopsis sp. aktif mencari makan tertinggi terbagi menjadi dua waktu yaitu pk. 08.45-09.00 dan15.45-16.00. aktifitas menurun pada pk. 10.00-14.00. selain itu aktifitas solidaritas Solenopsis sp. Menunjukkan bahwa apabila ada semut yang mati dari koloni yang sama, maka kasta pekerja akan membawa semut-semut yang mati menuju ke sarang. Dari semua aktifiatas semut yang begitu istimewa merupakan suatu contoh bagi kita bahwa, manusia tercipta sebagai makhluk yang paling sempurna yang dibekali akal. Allah SWT dalam pencipataannya memberikan suatu pesan tersirat kepada kita bahwa manusia tetap harus berusaha menjadi yang lebih baik melalui penciptaan makhlukNya.

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.

Abstract. This study investigates the evolutionary history of a hyperdiverse clade, the ant subfamily Myrmicinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), based on analyses of a data matrix comprising 251 species and 11 nuclear gene fragments. Under both maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods of inference, we recover a robust phylogeny that reveals six major clades of Myrmicinae, here treated as newly defined tribes and occur- ring as a pectinate series: Myrmicini, Pogonomyrmecini trib.n., Stenammini, Solenop- sidini, Attini and Crematogastrini. Because we condense the former 25 myrmicine tribes into a new six-tribe scheme, membership in some tribes is now notably different, espe- cially regarding Attini. We demonstrate that the monotypic genus Ankylomyrma is nei- ther in the Myrmicinae nor even a member of the more inclusive formicoid clade – rather it is a poneroid ant, sister to the genus Tatuidris (Agroecomyrmecinae).

Kempfi dris gen. nov. has a series of distinctive morphological characters including the mandibular confi guration, vestibulate propodeal spiracle, propodeal carinae, and cylindrical micro-pegs on the posteromedian portion of abdominal tergum VI and anteromedian portion of abdominal tergum VII.

Box 812 Yaounde, Cameroon 2 Department of Animal Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Douala, Po. Box 24157 Douala,Cameroon * Corresponing author, Email: [email protected] Received 30 April 2021 | Accepted 9 July 2021 Published online at www.soil-organisms.de 1 August 2021 | Printed version 15 August 2021 DOI 10.25674/so93iss2id159 Abstract Soil-dwelling ants are the most diverse and abundant groups of animals in most terrestrial ecosystems. However, reliable techniques for assessing the abundance and diversity of ant communities with respect to land management remain poorly studied. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of three trapping procedures (Pitfall trapping, quadrat sampling and baiting) in three habitats (urban, upland and littoral). A total of 169,934 ant workers belonging to 7 sub-families, 51 genera and 198 species were recorded in the three habitats. High species richness and abundance were recorded in upland habitats, compared to urban and littoral habitats. Similarly, contribution diversity approach based on species richness and Simpson’s index was high in upland habitats and low in littoral and urban habitats. Quadrat sampling was more efficient and reliable technique (138 species) than pitfall trapping (133 species) and baiting (126 species). Ant pitfall trapping was less efficient in urban and littoral habitats, but significantly effective in upland habitats.

  • Introduction to the Ant Genera
    INTRODUCTION TO THE ANT GENERA It has been more than 20 years since the last keys to the ant genera of the Afrotropical and Malagasy regions were published (Bolton, 1994). Taxonomy has advanced at a startling rate since then, much of the advancement fueled by the development of DNA analysis, which has revealed numerous relationships that were not apparent from the study of morphology alone. In recent years many researchers have become aware that the phenomena of conver- gence of characters and parallel evolution, especially in the huge subfamily Myrmicinae, are extensive. But progress toward untangling the mass of suppositions has been hampered by a lack of knowledge concerning which morphological characters were trustworthy enough to produce monophyletic groups, and which were the products of convergence and parallel- ism. DNA analysis has indicated the existence of numerous monophyletic groups that were previously unsuspected, and this in turn has allowed a reexamination of morphological fea- tures and a re-sorting of characters thus isolated. The purpose of this volume is to reflect changes in, and additions to, the genus-rank tax- onomy in the Afrotropical and Malagasy regions that have accrued through the intervening years and to present up-to-date keys and definitions that indicate the present state of the tax- onomy. For the purposes of this book the Afrotropical region consists of sub-Saharan Africa and the islands in the Gulf of Guinea; the Malagasy region consists of Madagascar and the Indian Ocean islands of Aldabra, the Chagos Archipelago, Comoros, Europa, Farquhar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Réunion, Rodrigues, and Seychelles. In these 2 regions we currently recognize a total of 122 genera, distributed through 11 subfamilies.
