Leptanilla havilandi is a species of ant in the subfamily Leptanillinae. [1] The species can be found in Singapore and Malaysia. [2] [3] [4]
Tapinoma is a genus of ants that belongs to the subfamily Dolichoderinae. The genus currently comprises 74 described species distributed worldwide in tropical and temperate regions. Members of are generalized foragers, nesting in a wide variety of habitats, ranging from grasslands, open fields, woodlands, to inside buildings. The majority of species nest in the ground under objects such as stones or tree logs, other species build nests under bark of logs and stumps, in plant cavities, insect galls or refuse piles.
Crematogaster is an ecologically diverse genus of ants found worldwide, which are characterised by a distinctive heart-shaped gaster (abdomen), which gives them one of their common names, the Saint Valentine ant. Members of this genus are also known as cocktail ants because of their habit of raising their abdomens when alarmed. Most species are arboreal (tree-dwelling). These ants are sometimes known as acrobat ants.
Sericomyrmex is a genus of fungus-growing ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae.
Leptanilla is a genus of ant in the subfamily Leptanillinae. Like other genera in this subfamily, the queen is fed by the hemolymph of their own larvae, which have specialized processes for this purpose.
Aenictus is a large army ant genus distributed in the Old World tropics and subtropics. It contains about 181 species, making it one of the larger ant genera of the world.
Neivamyrmex is a genus of army ants in the subfamily Dorylinae.
Carebara is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. It is one of the largest myrmicine genera with more than 200 species distributed worldwide in the tropics and the Afrotropical region. Many of them are very tiny cryptic soil and leaf-litter inhabitants. They nest in rotten wood to which the bark is still adherent in the Afrotropical region, or may be lestobiotic nesting near other ant species. Some species are known to exist parasitically within termite nests. Little is known about the biology of the genus, but they are notable for the vast difference in size between queens and workers.
Hagensia is a small genus of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae. Its two species are known only from coastal areas in South Africa. Workers are large (10.5–13.0 mm); queens are unknown, but gamergates occurs in both species.
Camponotus irritans is a species of carpenter ant. It is found in many Asian and Oceanian countries.
Camponotus reticulatus is a species of carpenter ant. It is found from many Afrotropical, Indo-Australian, Oriental, Palaearctic regional countries and in Singapore.
Camponotus variegatus is a species of carpenter ant.
Meranoplus bicolor, is a species of ant of the subfamily Myrmicinae. It is found in many Asian countries, where its habitats range from open grasslands to open-canopy forests. They nest in soil, usually at the base of plants. The nest opening is a simple hole, but it can sometimes have multiple openings. Workers forage on the ground as well as on plants, where they exploit extrafloral nectaries and tend to aphids.
Leptanilla besucheti is a species of ant. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Polyrhachis thrinax is a species of ant in the subfamily Formicinae, found in many Asian countries. There are 6 or 7 subspecies recognized.
Tetraponera nigra, is a species of ant of the subfamily Myrmicinae, which can be found in Borneo, Philippines, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, China.
Pheidole sulcaticeps is a species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae.
Centromyrmex feae, is a species of ant of the subfamily Ponerinae. There are 3 subspecies recognized.
Hypoponera confinis is a species of ant of the subfamily Ponerinae, which can be found from Sri Lanka, and China.
Leptogenys diminuta is a species of ant of the subfamily Ponerinae. Twelve subspecies are recognized.
Camponotus planatus, known generally as the compact carpenter ant or short carpenter ant, is one of three Camponotus species that is polygynous, or has more than one queen. It is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
