Topic: Paraponerinae


In the News (Mon 6 Jul 09)

  
  Ponerinae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Long considered primitive on the basis of retention of a typical hymenopteran sting and pupae in cocoons, some groups among the poneromorphs exhibit considerable specialization in predatory habits and mandibular form.
Most poneromorphs appear to have lost the taste for sweets (nectar, fruit) typical of adult stinging Hymenoptera, and this should probably also be considered an evolutionary "advancement".
Foraging for extrafloral nectar and honeydew from Homoptera has been retained in Ectatomminae and Paraponerinae, but was perhaps secondarily re-acquired in Odontomachus of the Ponerinae.

The ants are one of the most successful groups of insect s, and are of interest because they form advanced colonies.

Bolton's careful analysis shows that some groups may be more closely related to subfamilies than to each other.
Bolton's subfamilies "poneromorph" Formicidae include Amblyoponinae Ectatomminae (this one and the next apparently related to the widely and highly diverse Myrmicinae) Heteroponerinae Paraponerinae (possibly to Myrmeciinae - Australian bulldog ants) Ponerinae a much more restricted sense) and Proceratiinae.

Paraponerinae (possibly related to (Click link for more info and facts about Myrmeciinae) Myrmeciinae - Australian bulldog ants)
These two evolutionary developments are often, but not necessarily, seen in association : enlongated mandibles with modified teeth for handling large and potentially toxic prey in Amblyopone and Thaumatomyrmex, and strongly modified "snap-jaws" and associated musculature in the generalized predator Odontomachus.

 Heads Up! Bolton introduces big changes in taxonomy. - www.ezboard.com
A series of appendices deal with necessary adjustments in genus rank taxonomy, some aspects of morphology, formicid plesiomorphic states and appearance of taxa in the fossil record.
At subfamily rank taxonomic changes include the creation of two new taxa (Heteroponerinae and *Brownimeciinae), revived status of one (Amblyoponinae) and new status for four (Agroecomyrmecinae, Ectatomminae, Paraponerinae and Proceratiinae).
At tribe rank there are six new taxa (Ankylomyrmini, *Haidomyrmecini, Lenomyrmecini, Liomyrmecini, Notostigmatini and Paratopulini), revived status for Myrmecorhynchini and new status for Probolomyrmecini.

Der schwarze Peter ist Paraponera, welche zwar auch zu Formicidae gehört, jedoch Gattungsstatus hat und keine Unterfamilie (-inae) ist.
Seit Boltons "Synopsis and classification of Formicidae" (2003), welches heute Gültigkeit besitzt, wird die Gattung Paraponera in eine eigene Unterfamilie gestellt (Paraponerinae).
Der "schwarze Peter" ist somit wirklich nur die Endung.
