The Male of the Ant Genus Rhopalothrix (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae)
Neotropical Entomology, 2022The male caste is firstly described for the ant genus Rhopalothrix. The male was collected as attached to the gyne during copula. Due to the rarity of the genus, the gyne and male are tentatively associated with R. apertor Longino and Boudinot 2013. The apomorphic features of Rhopalothrix male are discussed, and a preliminary identification key based ...

A hitherto unknown ethological factor in the ant Tetramorium impurum (Myrmicinae) [PDF]
Behavioural Processes, 1991 In Tetramorium impurum, an ethological factor can be found on workers' last visible abdominal sternite. For a short time, it attracts ants, increases their linear speed and enhances the efficiency of the trail pheromone. This factor is not colony-specific but may play a role in the foraging and recruiting systems of the species.

Direct homing behaviour in the antTetramorium caespitum(Formicidae, Myrmicinae)
Animal Behaviour, 1998Direct homing refers to the behaviour whereby an ant with food runs in an almost straight line to the nest. We determined whether non-polarized light acts as a directional cue in the direct homing behaviour of the grass ant, Tetramorium caespitum. We carried out tests (1) under a blue sky or in total overcast conditions in the field, and (2) with a ...

Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical Myrmicinae ant genus Blepharidatta Wheeler
Zootaxa, 2015We revise the taxonomy of the exclusively Neotropical Myrmicinae ant genus Blepharidatta (Attini), redescribing the known species (B. brasiliensis and B. conops), and describing two new species, B. delabiei sp. n. (Brazil: Bahia) and B. fernandezi sp. n. (Colombia: Amazonas). We also describe worker sting apparatuses, larvae, males, and ergatoid gynes

Mating behavior in the ant, Myrmecina graminicola (Myrmicinae)
Insectes Sociaux, 2003Sexual behavior of Myrmecina graminicola in laboratory conditions is described. Virgin females, both gynomorphs and intermorphs, exhibit an inconspicuous "sexual calling", apparently depositing a sex pheromone on the substrate close by. The sexual pheromone is produced in the poison gland.
