Abstract The myrmicine ant genus Rogeria in Guyana is reviewed. Using previously published records, older collections, and collections from recent leaf litter ant survey work, nine Rogeria species are now known from Guyana, with another two species that probably also occur in Guyana. Among these eleven species, a new species, R. tsumani, is here described, and four of them, including the new species, are new records for Guyana. A key to the species found in Guyana is provided, along with illustrations of all 11 species. Keywords: biotic surveys, leaf litter, Myrmicinae, new species Introduction The rarely collected myrmicine ant genus Rogeria has a disjunct distribution, with 36 species previously known to occur in the New World and 3 species that are known from the Australasian region (Kugler 1994). Rogeria ants are cryptic in habit and specimens are primarily collected from leaf litter and rotten wood, usually through Berlese or Winkler sampling. Not much is known about their biology, except that nests have been taken in rotting logs, under rocks, and from the trunks of cacao trees (Kugler 1994). Despite a recent revision of the genus by Kugler (1994), new species are still being discovered. Recent survey work in Guyana revealed a number of new records of Rogeria species for the country, along with the discovery of a new species collected by Neal Weber in 1936. Here we describe this new species and provide a review of the genus in Guyana. Accepted by J. Longino: 18 Sept. 2006; published: 9 Oct. 2006 59.

TAYLOR Research School of Biological Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, 2600, Australia. Honorary Research Fellow, CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences, Canberra, ACT, 2601, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Lordomyrma is recorded for the first time from India and mainland southeast Asia. The Japanese L. azumai is reviewed and six new worker-based species described: L. lakshmi (Kerala State, India); L. hmong (Lao Cai Province, Vietnam); L. diwata, L. emarginata and L. idianale (Mt Isarog, Luzon, Philippines) and L. limatula (Leyte, Philippines). Gynes are characterized for L. azumai, L. hmong and L. limatula. All taxa are diagnosed, illustrated, and their affinities discussed.

The latter is arguably the least morphologically derived known Lordomyrma species (Taylor, 2009) and its characteristics may thus be very generally considered archetypal for the genus.

Lordomyrma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Fiji Islands1
Fiji Arthropods VI. Edited by Neal L. Evenhuis & Daniel J. Bickel. Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 90: 9–42 (2006). Lordomyrma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Fiji Islands1 ELI M. SARNAT Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis, One Shields Ave, Davis, California 95616, USA; email: [email protected] Abstract: This revision treats the members of the ant genus Lordomyrma (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) occurring in Fiji. Ten species are recognized, of which four are new: L. cur- vata sp. n., L. desupra sp. n., L. levifrons (Mann) stat. n., L. polita (Mann) stat. n., L. rugosa (Mann), L. sukuna sp. n., L. stoneri (Mann) stat. n., L. striatella (Mann), L. tor- tuosa (Mann), and L. vuda sp. n. Descriptions of each species are provided, along with distribution maps and a key for the identification of workers. Additional figures and iden- tification tools are available on Antweb <http://www.antweb.org/fiji.jsp>. A preliminary comparison with Lordomyrma from Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia is fol- lowed by a discussion of the distribution of species within Fiji and an outline of future research directions pertaining to the taxonomy, biogeography and conservation of the Fijian species. BACKGROUND The genus Lordomyrma (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) Emery is comprised of relatively uncommon and often elegantly sculptured ants occurring in the Australian and Oriental regions. Species have been described from Japan, New Guinea, eastern Australia, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands and Fiji (Bolton 1995), with additional undescribed species being reported from Borneo (Brühl et al. 1998). Of the 24 currently recognized species in the genus (including those described here), ten are endemic to the Fijian arch- ipelago.

Assessment of Ant Communities in Secondary Forest in the Eastern Amazon

Collections were made from April to September 2004, using the mini-Winkler extractor method. A total of 4893 ant individuals were obtained distributed in three subfamilies, 22 genera and 82 species. The most frequent species were Wasmannia auropunctata (100%), Pyramica sp1 and Solenopsis sp1 (75%). The Shannon diversity index showed low values, the Jaccard index presented dissimilarity, the equitability index showed that the distribution of the abundance of individuals was not homogeneous and the species richness also presented low values. There was variation in the composition of the ant fauna in soils fertilized with N, N + P and P. The study corroborated other research in degraded areas, showing that the species composition is modified compared to more complex environments.

We studied communities of leaf litter ants from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, compared richness estimates for genera and species, and built species accumulation curves. These two methods resulted in a satisfactory sampling of richness; 21.3% of the genera and 47.6% of the species were collected exclusively with Winkler’s extractors, whereas 6.4% of the genera and 9.5% of the species were collected exclusively with pitfalls. Winkler’s extractor had proven to be the most efficient single sampling technique to estimate richness.

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).
