Acanthostichus arizonensis Mackay, W.P., 1996 | |
Acanthostichus arizonensis is a species of ant belonging to the genus Acanthostichus . It was described by Mackay in 1996. These ants are distributed in the United States and Mexico. [1]
Dorylinae is an ant subfamily, with distributions in both the Old World and New World. Brady et al. (2014) synonymized the previous dorylomorph subfamilies under Dorylinae, while Borowiec (2016) reviewed and revised the genera, resurrecting many genera which had previously been merged. Dorylinae genera are suggested to have evolved sometime between 102 to 74 million years ago, subsequently undergoing rapid adaptive radiation events during their early history.
The genus Sciurus contains most of the common, bushy-tailed squirrels in North America, Europe, temperate Asia, Central America and South America.
Camposaurus is a coelophysid dinosaur genus from the Norian stage of the Late Triassic period of North America. The pertinent fossil remains date back to the early to middle Norian stage, and is widely regarded as the oldest known neotheropod.
The Antilocapridae are a family of ruminant artiodactyls endemic to North America. Their closest extant relatives are the giraffids. Only one species, the pronghorn, is living today; all other members of the family are extinct. The living pronghorn is a small ruminant mammal resembling an antelope.
Pelegrina is a spider genus of the family Salticidae. They are found throughout North America. Many of the species in Pelegrina were previously placed in the genera Metaphidippus, and before that, Dendryphantes. The genus was originally described in 1930 by the Spanish arachnologist Pelegrín Franganillo Balboa, who named it after himself.
The Arizona gray squirrel is a tree squirrel, in the genus Sciurus, endemic to the canyons and valleys surrounded by deciduous and mixed forests in eastern Arizona and northern Mexico.
Sympistis arizonensis is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by William Barnes in 1928. It is found in the United States in southeastern Arizona as well as northern Colorado. It was formerly known as Oncocnemis arizonensis, but was transferred to the genus Sympistis in 2008.
Antaeotricha arizonensis is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in the United States in the mountain ranges in south-eastern Arizona and south-western New Mexico. Although Antaeotricha arizonensis are easily differentiated within their genus through the dark spots on their forewings, the distinction between sexes of A. arizonensis can be complicated. The sexes of A. arizonensis (male&female) differentiate between themselves by distinct characteristics on their antennas and anatomy of their genitalia(Ferris, 59)
Trachymyrmex is a genus of fungus-growing ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus is mainly tropical in distribution, with most species being found in Central and South America.
Acanthostichus is a predatory and predominantly subterranean genus of ant in the subfamily Dorylinae. They are found in the New World, from the southern United States to Uruguay, Paraguay and northern Argentina. They are probably common, but due to their subterranean nature, they are seldom collected or seen.
Acanthostichus hispaniolicus is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Dorylinae known from a group of possibly Miocene fossils found on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. A. hispaniolicus is the first species of the ant genus Acanthostichus to have been described from fossils found in Dominican amber, and is the only species of Acanthostichus found in the West Indies.
Crematogaster arizonensis is a species of ant in tribe Crematogastrini. It was described by Wheeler in 1908.
Araneus arizonensis is a species of spider in the family Araneidae, found in United States and Mexico.
Dinocoryna arizonensis is a species in the family Staphylinidae, in the order Coleoptera ("beetles"). It is found in North America. It is a known associate of Neivamyrmex ants.
Eutrichites is a genus of ant-loving beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least two described species in Eutrichites.
Mexalictus is a genus of sweat bees in the family Halictidae. There are more than 20 described species in Mexalictus.
Stenolemoides is a genus of thread-legged bugs in the family Reduviidae. There are at least three described species in Stenolemoides.
Cheiropachus is a genus of insects belonging to the family Pteromalidae.
