A new species, Megarthrus heise Zhang, Cuccodoro, Chen Liu sp. nov., resembling Megarthrus nitidulus Kraatz, 1857 is described from Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi provinces and Beijing in China. The record of M. nitidulus in China was apparently based on a misidentification, and the species is thus removed from the list of Chinese Megarthrus. Phoresy of acari and teratological modification of the abdomen are also reported for the first time in the genus.
一种新的物种,即张、库科多罗和陈柳命名的巨刺蚁属喜山亚种 Megarthrus heise Zhang, Cuccodoro, Chen Liu sp. nov.,与中国的光亮巨刺蚁 Megarthrus nitidulus Kraatz, 1857 相似,产自青海、四川、甘肃、陕西和山西以及北京。中国光亮巨刺蚁的记录显然是基于误认,因此该物种从中国巨刺蚁名录中删除。本文还首次报道了螨虫的拟寄生现象和腹部的畸形改变。
