  • ABSTRACT We Present Here a List of the Attini Type Material Deposited In
    Volume 45(4):41-50, 2005 THE TYPE SPECIMENS OF FUNGUS GROWING ANTS, ATTINI (HYMENOPTERA, FORMICIDAE, MYRMICINAE) DEPOSITED IN THE MUSEU DE ZOOLOGIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DE SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL CHRISTIANA KLINGENBERG1,2 CARLOS ROBERTO F. B RANDÃO1 ABSTRACT We present here a list of the Attini type material deposited in the Formicidae collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP), Brazil. In total, the Attini (fungus-growing and leaf- cutting ants) collection includes types of 105 nominal species, of which 74 are still valid, whereas 31 are considered synonyms. The majority of the types in the MZSP collection are syntypes (74), but in the collection there are 4 species represented only by holotypes, 12 by holotypes and paratypes, 13 species only by paratypes, and 2 species by the lectotype and one paralectotype as well. All holotypes and paratypes refer to valid species. The aim of this type list is to facilitate consultation and to encourage further revisionary studies of the Attini genera. KEYWORDS: Insects, Hymenoptera, Myrmicinae, Attini, types, MZSP. INTRODUCTION Forel, F. Santschi, and in a lesser extent, to/with William M. Wheeler, Gustav Mayr, Carlo Menozzi, and Marion The Formicidae collection housed in the Museu R. Smith. Several species collected in Brazil were named de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP) is by these authors, who often sent back to São Paulo one of the most representative for the Neotropical type specimens. In 1939, the Zoological section of the region in number of types and ant species, as well as Museu Paulista was transferred to the São Paulo State for the geographic coverage.

  • Acromyrmex Ameliae Sp. N. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): a New Social Parasite of Leaf-Cutting Ants in Brazil
    © 2007 The Authors Insect Science (2007) 14, 251-257 Acromyrmex ameliae new species 251 Journal compilation © Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Acromyrmex ameliae sp. n. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): A new social parasite of leaf-cutting ants in Brazil DANIVAL JOSÉ DE SOUZA1,3, ILKA MARIA FERNANDES SOARES2 and TEREZINHA MARIA CASTRO DELLA LUCIA2 1Institut de Recherche sur la Biologie de l’Insecte, Université François Rabelais, Tours, France, 2Departamento de Biologia Animal and 3Laboratório de Ecologia de Comunidades, Departamento de Biologia Geral, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, MG, 36570-000, Brazil Abstract The fungus-growing ants (Tribe Attini) are a New World group of > 200 species, all obligate symbionts with a fungus they use for food. Four attine taxa are known to be social parasites of other attines. Acromyrmex (Pseudoatta) argentina argentina and Acromyrmex (Pseudoatta) argentina platensis (parasites of Acromyrmex lundi), and Acromyrmex sp. (a parasite of Acromyrmex rugosus) produce no worker caste. In contrast, the recently discovered Acromyrmex insinuator (a parasite of Acromyrmex echinatior) does produce workers. Here, we describe a new species, Acromyrmex ameliae, a social parasite of Acromyrmex subterraneus subterraneus and Acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus in Minas Gerais, Brasil. Like A. insinuator, it produces workers and appears to be closely related to its hosts. Similar social parasites may be fairly common in the fungus-growing ants, but overlooked due to the close resemblance between parasite and host workers. Key words Acromyrmex, leaf-cutting ants, social evolution, social parasitism DOI 10.1111/j.1744-7917.2007.00151.x Introduction species can coexist as social parasites in attine colonies, consuming the fungus garden (Brandão, 1990; Adams The fungus-growing ants (Tribe Attini) are a New World et al., 2000).

    Behavioral Ecology Symposium ’94: Frank & McCoy Intro. 1 INTRODUCTION TO INSECT BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY : THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE BEAUTIFUL: NON-INDIGENOUS SPECIES IN FLORIDA INVASIVE ADVENTIVE INSECTS AND OTHER ORGANISMS IN FLORIDA. J. H. FRANK1 AND E. D. MCCOY2 1Entomology & Nematology Department, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-0620 2Biology Department and Center for Urban Ecology, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620-5150 ABSTRACT An excessive proportion of adventive (= “non-indigenous”) species in a community has been called “biological pollution.” Proportions of adventive species of fishes, am- phibia, reptiles, birds and mammals in southern Florida range from 16% to more than 42%. In Florida as a whole, the proportion of adventive plants is about 26%, but of in- sects is only about 8%. Almost all of the vertebrates were introduced as captive pets, but escaped or were released into the wild, and established breeding populations; few arrived as immigrants (= “of their own volition”). Almost all of the plants also were in- troduced, a few arrived as immigrants (as contaminants of shipments of seeds or other cargoes). In contrast, only 42 insect species (0.3%) were introduced (all for bio- logical control of pests, including weeds). The remainder (about 946 species, or 7.6%) arrived as undocumented immigrants, some of them as fly-ins, but many as contami- nants of cargoes. Most of the major insect pests of agriculture, horticulture, human- made structures, and the environment, arrived as hitchhikers (contaminants of, and stowaways in, cargoes, especially cargoes of plants). No adventive insect species caus- ing problems in Florida was introduced (deliberately) as far as is known.

Nevertheless their importance there are few knowledge about the community of arthropods associated to vegetation in arid zones in the North of Mexico. The present study had the objective of determining the abundance, richness and diversity of arthropods in three localities where there are natural populations of mescal agave in the State of Durango, Mexico. Approach: In order to know the structure community of the arthropods associated to the mescal agave, we perform a sampling schedule during March 2008 to November 2010 by direct collection, using transects in three different localities with the presence of mescal agave. The relative abundance, species richness, Shannon’s diversity index, Pielou’s Index of evenness, Jaccard’s similitude and Simpson’s dominance indexes were determined.

  • Hymenoptera: Formicidae
    361 Nest and Foraging Characteristics of Acromyrmex landolti balzani (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Northeast Brazil by Júlio César Melo Poderoso1, Genésio Tâmara Ribeiro1, Gláucia Barretto Gonçalves1, Paula Daniele Mendonça1, Ricardo Antonio Polanczyk2, Ronald Zanetti3, José Eduardo Serrão4 & José Cola Zanuncio5,6 ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to survey leaf-cutting ants in the Campus of the Federal University of Sergipe in Sergipe State, Brazil, and to analyze characteristics of nests and foraging dynamics of the most frequent species. Six transects with 20 meters wide by 50 meters long were cast every 150 meters where leaf-cutting ants were collected . Eighty-three ant nests were found in the six transects. In 88% Acromyrmex landolti balzani (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) was the only species of this genus found, with the other 12% composed of Atta spp. Seven nests of A. landolti balzani were evaluated after its identification and observed during the photophase (07:00 A.M. to 06 P.M.) for periods of 20 min at intervals of 50 minutes during five days. The depths of nests ranged from 12cm to 140cm in the rainy and dry seasons, respectively, and their vaulted chambers have an elliptical shape. The foraging behavior of this species increases, gradually, from 10:00 A.M. to 02:00 P.M. and reached a peak, which is related to the sensitivity of the ant workers to microclimatic gradients, time and space. These gradients affect the nesting and foraging behavior of this insect. Key words: ecology, insect pests, leaf cutting ants 1Universidade Federal de Sergipe – Núcleo de Engenharia Florestal, Avenida Marechal Rondon s/n, 49100-000, São Cristóvão.

  • PESTS of PLANTS These Pests Can Damage Various Landscape Plants in Community Environments but Do Not Directly Affect Humans Or Animals
    PESTS OF PLANTS These pests can damage various landscape plants in community environments but do not directly affect humans or animals. Some may wander indoors and can cause concern if present in large numbers, or if they bite, cause irritation by their hair, molted skin or secretions, or have other effects. Pests of plants can be grouped in various ways; based on their scientific classification into orders and families; based on their host plants; or based on their mode of feeding into chewing or sap-sucking pests. In this section we will broadly group these pests using the third method, into chewing and sap-sucking pests. CHEWING PESTS-BEETLES Beetles are the most diverse among the insects, as well as among all the other known forms of animals. They belong to the order Coleoptera, which is named after their hard, shell-like front wings or ‘elytra’. Most beetles can open these out to reveal their membranous hind wings, which are used in flight. The elytra are fused to form a single shell in some flightless species. Beetles have chewing and biting mouthparts, with well-developed mandibles (jaws) that serve to capture prey, as well as defend them against predators. They occupy a wide variety of habitats and feed on an equally wide range of food material or plant and animal origin. Many species are predatory, and feed on other insects. Parasitic forms also exist. Beetles undergo complete metamorphosis, and their life cycle includes four distinct stages: egg, larva (grub), pupa and adult. Sizes and appearances vary greatly with the species.
