Abstract
Totally 126 species from 43 genera and 7 subfamilies of ants have been found in the Buxa Tiger Reserve. Of them Tetramorium curtulum Emery, 1895, Calyptomyrmex friederikae Kutter, 1976 and Dolichoderus brevis Santschi, 1920 are recorded from India for the first time. Six rare species are also found here, viz. Gesomyrmex spatulatus Cole, 1949, Rhopalomastix rothneyi Forel, 1900, Colobopsis cotesii (Forel, 1893), Colobopsis vitrea angustula (Emery, 1925), and Camponotus selene (Emery, 1889). The diversity and distribution pattern of different species opens avenue for considering this protected area as a gene pool for ant diversity in West Bengal.
期刊介绍：
Far Eastern Entomologist is a rapid journal in English with Russian summary which publishes the original papers on entomology, including taxonomy, systematic, morphology, phylogeny, as well biology, ecology, and biogeography. The reviews, comprehensive or revisionary studies of the insects, the phylogeny and taxonomic catalogues are preferred of insect groups are especially welcome and have priority for the publication. The area covered by the journal is extended from Chukotka to South-East Asia and from Ural Mountains to Japan.
