The Ants of
Africa SUBFAMILY MYRMICINAE - Genus Strumigenys |
|
Contents - Myrmicinae - MYRMICINAE Introduction |
Revised by Brown (1954), Bolton (1983) and Bolton (2000).
Diagnostic Features - Antennae 6-segmented, with the second and third funicular segments reduced. Antennal scrobes present. Often the ventrolateral margin of the head is excised in front of the eye to form a preocular notch. Mandibles elongate, linear, with the preapical armament usually of two teeth on the distal portion of the blade, occasionally one of these teeth is missing. Apical armament of the mandible is a fork of two spiniform teeth, with or without intercalary denticles. All orange-brown, some darker.
F Smith's (1860c) genus definition is at , see also S. mandibularis. An early key to African and Madagascar
dacetines is that of Santschi (1913b); that, with modern annotation, is
.
Rigato (2006) added two new species - S. alessandrae and S. bartolozzii.
Key to workers of African species (adapted and updated from Bolton, 1983; also plus Bolton, 2000): in addition to the usual measurements, Bolton used ML = straight line length of mandible from anterior clypeal margin to the apex of the mandible, from which he used MI = ML/HL X 100.
