A new species of the paper wasp genus Metapolybia Ducke is described, and its similarities to other species of the genus are discussed. Metapolybia Ducke is a small genus of neotropical paper wasps in the tribe Epi- ponini of the subfamily Polistinae, The tribe is of interest for its behavior of founding colonies by swarms of multiple queens accompanied by workers, and the genus is of interest because the phenomenon of cyclical oligogyny. West-Eberhard (1978), studying Metapolybia aztecoides Richards, observed that, although the swarm initi- ating a colony began with multiple egg-layers, only one egg-layer remained by the time that reproductive progeny were produced. This type of colony cycle, termed cyclical oligogyny by Strassmann et al. (1991), is considered to be important in the maintenance of eusociality in swarm-founding wasps, by raising relatedness among queens.

-I describe the new species Anochetus brevidentatus from Dominican Republic amber, possibly deposited 30-40 million years before present. This species is a member of the emarginatus species group and the haytianus superspecies. It is closely related to the extant A. kempfi. I present characters for distinguishing this ant from the others in the haytianus super species. Recently we have seen a rapid growth of knowledge of ants of the Dominican Republic amber, due primarily to the work of Baroni-Urbani and Wilson (see Wilson, 1988 for references). One of these new species, Anochetus corayi, was recently de scribed by Baroni-Urbani (1980). In this paper, I describe a second species in the genus Anochetus from Dominican amber. Anochetus brevidentatus, new species Figs. 1, 2, 3, 8 Diagnosis. This species is closely related to A. kempfi. It differs in that the man dibular teeth are smaller (Figs. 2 and 6), the teeth on the petiolar node are much smaller (Figs. 3 and 4), the mandibles are enlarged in the middle (as in A. haytianus Fig. 7) and it is smaller than A. kempfi. It can be easily distinguished from A. haytianus and A. longispina as the teeth on the node of the petiole are much smaller (Figs. 3 and 5) and it has teeth on the propodeum, which are absent on the latter species. Description of worker: HL 1.34, HW 1.20, SL 1.40, ML 0.90, EL 0.2, WL 2.08 (abbreviations as in Brown, 1978, measurements in mm). Mandibles with three apical teeth (Fig. 8) in addition to six smaller teeth along mesial border (Fig. 2), mandible slightly thickened at one half length of mandible; eye appears to be relatively small (not easily seen in specimen); mesosoma similar to that of A. kempfi, anterior edge of mesonotum higher than level of pronotum; propodeum with pair of well developed spines, directed vertically (Fig. 1); anterior face of petiole almost flat (in profile), posterior face convex, node bidentate, teeth relatively small (Fig. 3). Erect hairs sparse, present on mandibles, dorsum of head, pronotum and gaster. Sculpture fine, parallel striae on most of mesosoma; gaster smooth and shining. Female and male: Unknown. Discussion. This species is a member of the emarginatus species group, defined by Brown (1978) as species of large size and slender build, mandibles serially dentate, and petiole bidentate. It shows some affinities with the inermis group of the genus, as it has relatively small eyes, teeth on the node, and the denticular configeration is This content downloaded from 207.46.13.98 on Fri, 05 Aug 2016 05:59:20 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms 1991 NEW FOSSIL ANOCHETUS 139
-描述在多米尼加共和国琥珀中发现的新物种短爪龙，可能在距今3000万至4000万年前沉积。这个物种是一个成员的emarginatus种组和haytianus超种。它与现存的A. kempfi密切相关。我提出的特征，以区分这种蚂蚁从其他的海田奴超级物种。最近，我们看到了多米尼加共和国琥珀蚂蚁知识的快速增长，这主要归功于Baroni-Urbani和Wilson的工作(参见Wilson, 1988年的参考资料)。其中一种新物种，科拉伊anchetus corayi，最近由Baroni-Urbani(1980)描述。在本文中，我描述了多米尼加琥珀中anchetus属的第二个物种。短爪龙，新种图1、2、3、8本种与肯普菲有亲缘关系。它的不同之处在于，人的下颌牙齿较小(图2和6)，端结上的牙齿要小得多(图3和4)，下颌骨在中部扩大(如在A. haytianus图7)，它比A. kempfi小。它可以很容易地与A. haytianus和A. longispina区分开来，因为叶柄节上的牙齿要小得多(图3和5)，并且它在proproder上有牙齿，后者没有牙齿。工人描述:HL 1.34, HW 1.20, SL 1.40, ML 0.90, EL 0.2, WL 2.08(缩写为Brown, 1978，测量单位为mm)。下颌骨有三颗尖牙(图8)，另外沿中缘有六颗较小的牙齿(图2)，下颌骨在下颌骨的一半长度处略增厚;眼睛看起来相对较小(在标本中不容易看到);间皮瘤与肯普菲相似，间皮瘤前缘高于前凸面;具一对发育良好的刺的前体，垂直方向(图1);叶柄的前面几乎平(在侧面)，后面凸，节双齿，齿相对较小(图3)。直立毛稀疏，存在于下颌骨、头背、前前额和腹部。雕刻精细，大部分中膜上有平行条纹;Gaster光滑光亮。男女:未知。讨论。这个物种是emarginatus物种组的一员，由Brown(1978)定义为体型大，体型纤细，下颌骨有连续齿，叶柄有双齿的物种。它与该属的无尾猿类群有一定的亲缘关系，因为它的眼睛相对较小，在节点上有牙齿，齿状结构如下。该内容下载于207.46.13.98,Fri, 05 Aug 2016 05:59:20 UTC所有内容以http://about.jstor.org/terms 1991 NEW FOSSIL ANOCHETUS 139为准

-A new Ecuadorean species of Gnamptogenys Roger of theAlfaria group is described based upon a worker holotype and a dealated queen paratype. Gnamptogenys vriesi, n. sp. belongs to a subgroup of the Alfaria group, which includes also G. simulans, G. bufonis, and G. fakifera. The other subgroup includes G. minuta, G. pneodonax, G. striolata, and possibly, G. caelata. We present a characterization of the Alfaria group and its subgroups, and a discussion on the status of the group. Brown (1958) in a revision of the ponerine ant tribe Ectatommini synonymized several genera and subgenera with Gnamptogenys Roger, stating that this genus and its synonyms constitute the "upper ectatommines." According to him the species of Gnamptogenys fall into four groups: Gnamptogenys s. str., Holcoponera and Alfaria (the three from the New World), and Stictoponera (Old World). Within each group it is safe to consider the genera synonyms, albeit the assignment of all these generic and subgeneric names to the synonymy of Gnamptogenys was "set down with the greatest reluctance, and with the hope that some future study based on better material may establish a clear division of the species" (Brown, 1958). New material of Gnamptogenys has accumulated in collections at a relatively slow pace, as these terrestrial ants are often difficult to see against the substrate. Never theless the "Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de Sao Paulo" (MZUSP) recently received two important collections of Ecuadorean soil ants, including a new Gnamp togenys species of the Alfaria group, which is described below. Alfaria was described by Emery (1896) from workers, queens and a male of A. simulans, collected by A. Alfaro at Suerre, near Jimenez, Costa Rica. While the paper was in press Emery added another species, A. minuta, described from two alate queens collected in the Bolivian Chaco (received from "Casa Staudinger e Bang Haas"). Mann (1926) described A. bufonis from a single "worker" taken from a stomach of a Bufo valliceps specimen, collected by Nelson and Goldman in July, 1894 at Choapan, Oaxaca, Mexico. Borgmeier (1957) described A. striolata based on two workers collected by Fritz Plaumman in October, 1956 at Nova Teutonia, state of Santa Catarina, southeastern Brazil.

-The larvae of four species of ants in the genera Platythyrea, Plectroctena and Streblognathus are described. The larvae of Streblognathus and Simopelta are characterized for the first time. Included also are a few additional references to ponerine larvae found in the literature. Most of this article is the result of a gift of the larvae of four species of African ants from Martin Villet of the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. All these larvae seem weird even to seasoned students of 800 species in 200 genera. Streblognathus, which has never been previously studied has unique maxillae and tubercles, which are queer even in a tribe noted for peculiar tubercles. Platythyrea lamellosa has hairs which are unique among all known ant larvae; in fact, if they did not have alveolus and articular membrane we would call them tubercles. Even among tubercles they would be unique. Plectroctena conjugata has about 1,600 tubercles, which exceeds by far the number in any other species of ant larvae. Because of Brown's 1975 revision of Platythyrea the nomenclature of the species we have studied has become quite confused. The following changes should therefore be made:-australis in 1971 becomes parallela; incerta in 1971 becomes pilosula; Eubothroponera tasmaniensis in 1971 becomes Platythyrea turneri. Under MATE RIAL STUDIED in our 1976b Memoir (p. 97) change australis Forel to parallela (F. Smith) and incerta Emery to pilosula (F. Smith). In our Ten-Year Supplement (1 986b) under MATERIAL STUDIED (p. 699) delete tasmaniensis (Forel) and "de lete australis, incerta." To summarize, the six species of Platythyrea that we have studied previously are cribrinodis (Gerstiicker), inermis Forel, modesta Forel, par allela (F. Smith), pilosula (F. Smith) and turneri Forel. In 1976a (p. 59) we used the name Plectroctena sp. It should be changed to Plec troctena cryptica Bolton. We described a mature larva of one species of Simopone in 1986a, but we did not characterize the genus, because we hoped that someone would send us the mature larva of another species. Thus far we have hoped in vain. The terms used below for describing profiles and mandible shapes are defined in our 1976 Memoir. Whenever we refer to our own publications we give only the year.
-描述了四种蚂蚁(Platythyrea, Plectroctena和Streblognathus)的幼虫。本文首次报道了绿蝽和绿蝽的幼虫特征。还包括在文献中发现的一些额外的参考资料。这篇文章的大部分内容都是由约翰内斯堡威特沃特斯兰德大学的马丁·维莱特(Martin Villet)赠送的四种非洲蚂蚁的幼虫的结果。所有这些幼虫，即使对200属800种经验丰富的学生来说，也显得很奇怪。Streblognathus，以前从未被研究过，它有独特的上颌骨和结节，即使在一个以特殊结节著称的部落里，这也很奇怪。Platythyrea lamellosa有毛，在所有已知的蚂蚁幼虫中是独一无二的;事实上，如果它们没有肺泡和关节膜，我们称之为结节。即使在结核中，它们也是独一无二的。偶电蚁有大约1600个结节，远远超过任何其他种类的蚂蚁幼虫。由于布朗在1975年对鸭嘴兽的修订，我们所研究的物种的命名法变得相当混乱。因此应作出下列修改:- 1971年的澳大利亚改为平行;Incerta在1971年变成了pilosula;塔斯马尼亚真throponera ensis于1971年更名为turnerplatythyrea。在我们1976b回忆录(第97页)中研究的MATE RIAL下，将australis Forel改为parallela (F. Smith)，将incerta Emery改为pilosula (F. Smith)。在我们的十年增刊(1966b)材料研究(第699页)下删除tasmaniensis (Forel)和“delete australis, incerta”。综上所述，我们研究过的6种桔梗属植物分别是cribrinodis (Gerstiicker)、inermis Forel、modesta Forel、par allela (F. Smith)、pilosula (F. Smith)和turneri Forel。在1976年(第59页)，我们使用的名称是Plectroctena sp.它应该改为Plectroctena cryptica Bolton。我们在1986年描述了一种Simopone的成熟幼虫，但我们没有描述该属的特征，因为我们希望有人给我们寄来其他物种的成熟幼虫。到目前为止，我们的希望是徒劳的。下面用来描述轮廓和下颌骨形状的术语是在我们1976年的回忆录中定义的。每当我们提到我们自己的出版物时，我们只给出年份。

Aphaenogaster punctaticeps, n. sp. is described from the northern Chihuahuan Desert of south-central New Mexico, USA. It is closely related toAphaenogastertexana (Emery). The workers of the two species can be easily distinguished in that the posterior border of the head of A. punctaticeps is moderately pointed (rounded in A. texana) and the dorsum of the head is primarily punctate (rugose with punctures in the interrugal spaces in A. texana.). During an intensive investigation of the ant fauna of a site in the northern Chi huahuan Desert of south-central New Mexico (Jornada Long Term Ecological Re search Area), an undescribed species of the genus Aphaenogaster was collected. The following is a description of this species. Aphaenogaster punctaticeps, new species Description. Worker: (Abbreviations as defined by Snelling, 1981.) HL 1.32-1.40 mm, HW 0.94-1.00 mm (at anterior border of eye), SL 1.58-1.70 mm, EL 0.21 0.23 mm, EW 0.17-0.18 mm, CI 71, SI 168-170, 01 24-27, PNW 0.23-0.26 mm, PPW 0.32-0.35 mm, WL 1.11 mm.
Aphaenogaster punctaticeps, n.sp产于美国新墨西哥州中南部奇瓦瓦沙漠北部。它与金刚砂(aphaenogastertexana)密切相关。这两个物种的工蜂可以很容易地区分开来，因为点刺蚁头的后缘是中等尖的(得克萨斯蚁是圆形的)，而头的背部主要是点状的(得克萨斯蚁的间隔空间有刺)。在对新墨西哥州中南部(Jornada长期生态研究区)赤花环沙漠北部一地点蚁群的深入调查中，收集到一种未描述的Aphaenogaster属蚁群。以下是对该物种的描述。刺腹蕨，新种。工人:(Snelling, 1981年定义的缩写)HL 1.32 ~ 1.40 mm, HW 0.94 ~ 1.00 mm(眼前缘)，SL 1.58 ~ 1.70 mm, EL 0.21 ~ 0.23 mm, EW 0.17 ~ 0.18 mm, CI 71, SI 168 ~ 170, 01 24 ~ 27, PNW 0.23 ~ 0.26 mm, PPW 0.32 ~ 0.35 mm, WL 1.11 mm。

-This article describes the five species of formicine larvae that have accumulated since the publication of our 1982 supplement to our 1976 monograph. The genus Aphomo myrmex has not been described previously; the other genera are Paratrechina and Dendro myrmex. Also included are references to formicine larvae in the literature. In this article we describe five species of formicine larvae that have accumulated since the publication of our 1982 supplement to our 1976 memoir. Here we give descriptions only. In a future supplement to our 1976 memoir we will prepare keys for the separation of the various taxa. We have noted recently in the literature a developing problem: the students of caste determination in ants need to be able to distinguish the larval instars. In the past we have rarely secured more than one instar in a sample, but now entomologists are sending us all available sizes of larvae, e.g., Aphomomyrmex below. We also include any references to ant larvae of the subfamily Formicinae which we have found since our 1982 publication.

Introduction This article describes formicine larvae received since the preparation of our most recent supplement ( 1 980). The larva of Proformica has not been previously described. Also included are references to formicine larvae in the literature and a discussion of the status of Colobopsis. The terms describing body profile and mandible shape are explained in our 1976 monograph. Our own contributions are cited by year and page only.
