Abstract

Variants of gynes and workers occur in a substantial number of ant species; however, dacetine ergatoid gynes have been recorded just once in the literature thus far. In the present paper, we provide abridged descriptions of five ergatoid female reproductives in five species of Neotropical dacetines belonging to two genera: Acanthognathus brevicornis Smith, Acanthognathus ocellatus Mayr, Acanthognathus rudis Brown & Kempf, Strumigenys cosmostela Kempf, and Strumigenys hindenburgi Forel. We also compare the ergatoids with conspecific gynes and workers.

摘要

雌性和工蚁的变体存在于大量蚁种中；然而，到目前为止，文献中仅记录过一次大头蚁亚科无翅型雌性繁殖蚁。在本文中，我们简要描述了属于两个属的五种新热带区大头蚁亚科蚂蚁中的五只无翅型雌性繁殖蚁：短角刺颚蚁（史密斯）、眼斑刺颚蚁（迈尔）、粗刺颚蚁（布朗和肯普夫）、星纹弓背蚁（肯普夫）和兴登堡弓背蚁（福雷尔）。我们还将这些无翅型繁殖蚁与同种的雌性繁殖蚁和工蚁进行了比较。
