Adetomyrma goblin is a species of ant that belongs to the genus Adetomyrma . They are native to Madagascar. The species was described in 2012 by Yoshimura & Fisher. [1]
Proctoporus is a genus of medium-sized lizards assigned to the family Gymnophthalmidae. Species in the genus Proctoporus occur in Yungas forests and wet montane grasslands on the upper edge of the Amazonian forest, between 1,000 and 4,000 metres elevation, from Central Peru in the north to Central Bolivia in the south.
The Fisher is a small, carnivorous mammal native to North America, a forest-dwelling creature whose range covers much of the boreal forest in Canada to the northern United States. It is a member of the mustelid family, and is in the monospecific genus Pekania.
Adetomyrma is a genus of ants endemic to Madagascar. Workers of this genus are blind. The type species Adetomyrma venatrix was described in 1994, with the genus being an atypical member of its tribe, the Amblyoponini. This tribe includes the Dracula ants, members of which can feed on the hemolymph of larvae and pupae.
Amblyopone is a genus of 10 species of ants, found in Australia, New Caledonia, New Guinea and New Zealand. Ants of this genus possess the gamergate, meaning workers are able to reproduce within a colony lacking a queen.
Brachylophus bulabula is a species of iguanid lizard endemic to some of the larger central and northwestern islands of Fiji, where it occurs in Fijian wet forest. It was described by a team led by a scientist from the Australian National University in 2008. It is one of the few species of iguana found outside of the New World and one of the most geographically isolated members of the family Iguanidae. Initially also reported from Gau Island, in 2017 this population was described as a separate species, B. gau.
Amblyoponinae is a subfamily of ants in the poneromorph subfamilies group containing 13 extant genera and one extinct genus. The ants in this subfamily are mostly specialized subterranean predators. Adult workers pierce the integument of their larvae to imbibe haemolymph, earning them the common name Dracula ant.
Stigmatomma is a genus of ants in the subfamily Amblyoponinae. The genus has a worldwide distribution, and like most other amblyoponines, Stigmatomma species are specialized predators. First described by Roger (1859), it was for a long time considered to be a synonym of Amblyopone until it was revived as an independent genus by Yoshimura & Fisher (2012) based on worker mandible morphology.
Mystrium is a rare genus of ants in the subfamily Amblyoponinae. First described by Roger (1862) with the description of the queen of M. mysticum, the genus contains 14 species, all of which occur in the rainforests of the Old World with over half of the species endemic to the Malagasy region. The snapping jaw of one species, Mystrium camillae, is the fastest animal movement on record.
Xymmer is a genus of ant in the subfamily Amblyoponinae containing the single species Xymmer muticus.
Probolomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Proceratiinae. The genus is distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics. The ants are very rare, and are rarely collected in the field, but they appear to be nesting in the leaf litter or in rotten wood. Little is known about their biology.
Adetomyrma aureocuprea is a species of ant endemic to Madagascar.
Adetomyrma cassis is a species of ant endemic to Madagascar.
Adetomyrma caudapinniger is a species of ant endemic to Madagascar.
Adetomyrma cilium is a species of ant endemic to Madagascar.
Stigmatomma pluto is a species of ant in the subfamily Amblyoponinae. The species was first described as Amblyopone pluto by Gotwald and Levieux in 1972 and moved to the genus Stigmatomma in 2012.
Adetomyrma bressleri is a species of ant belonging to the genus Adetomyrma. They are endemic to Madagascar.
Adetomyrma caputleae is a species of ant belonging to the genus Adetomyrma. They are endemic to Madagascar, where they are widespread.
Adetomyrma clarivida is a species of ant that belongs to the genus Adetomyrma. It is a blind species native to Madagascar. It was described by Yoshimura & Fisher in 2012.
Stigmatomma electrina is an extinct species of ant in the genus Stigmatomma. It was described in 2009 after fossils were found in the Baltic Amber.
Stigmatomma groehni is an extinct species of ant in the genus Stigmatomma. It was described by Dlussky in 2009, where it was found in the Baltic Amber, alongside another extinct species Stigmatomma electrinum.
