Revisions of two new species groups of the genus Agra Fabricius are presented with the following species described as new: pusilla group - Agra cruciariasp. n. (Brazil), Agra gracesp. n. (Ecuador,Perú), Agra maxsp. n. (Brazil), Agra minasianussp. n. (Brazil),Agra notpusillasp. n. (Brazil), Agra pseudopusillasp. n. (Brazil); piranha group - Agra cesp. n. (Perú), Agra risserisp. n. (Bolivia,Brazil), Agra maiasp. n. (Bolivia), Agra piranhasp. n. (Ecuador); Agra tiputinisp. n. (Ecuador). Species of these two groups have adults that are the smallest in the entire genus, although this does not indicate they are closely related based on other attributes. All species are Amazonian in distribution.
本文对阿格拉属(Agra Fabricius)的两个新物种组进行了修订,并描述了以下新物种:小蚁组——十字阿格拉蚁(Agra cruciariasp. n.,巴西)、优雅阿格拉蚁(Agra gracesp. n.,厄瓜多尔、秘鲁)、大阿格拉蚁(Agra maxsp. n.,巴西)、米纳西阿努斯阿格拉蚁(Agra minasianussp. n.,巴西)、非小阿格拉蚁(Agra notpusillasp. n.,巴西)、拟小阿格拉蚁(Agra pseudopusillasp. n.,巴西);食人鱼组——塞氏阿格拉蚁(Agra cesp. n.,秘鲁)、里瑟氏阿格拉蚁(Agra risserisp. n.,玻利维亚、巴西)、玛亚阿格拉蚁(Agra maiasp. n.,玻利维亚)、食人鱼阿格拉蚁(Agra piranhasp. n.,厄瓜多尔);蒂普蒂尼阿格拉蚁(Agra tiputinisp. n.,厄瓜多尔)。这两个组的物种成虫是整个属中最小的,不过基于其他特征,这并不表明它们亲缘关系密切。所有物种均分布于亚马逊地区。
