Odontomachus simillimus is a species of ant of the subfamily Ponerinae, which can be found from many Asian, and African countries. [1]
In ants, the traditional subfamily Ponerinae has been subdivided into several Poneromorph subfamilies, with several former tribes now elevated to subfamily rank. According to this analysis, some ponerine groups may be more closely related to other subfamilies than to each other. The subfamilies of "poneromorph" Formicidae include:
Odontomachus, or trap-jaw ants, is a genus of omnivorous ants found in the tropics and subtropics throughout the world.
Odontomachus bauri is a species of ponerinae ant known as trap jaw ants. The trap jaw consists of mandibles which contain a spring-loaded catch mechanism.
Spatial organization can be observed when components of an abiotic or biological group are arranged non-randomly in space. Abiotic patterns, such as the ripple formations in sand dunes or the oscillating wave patterns of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction emerge after thousands of particles interact millions of times. On the other hand, individuals in biological groups may be arranged non-randomly due to selfish behavior, dominance interactions, or cooperative behavior. W. D. Hamilton (1971) proposed that in a non-related "herd" of animals, spatial organization is likely a result of the selfish interests of individuals trying to acquire food or avoid predation. On the other hand, spatial arrangements have also been observed among highly related members of eusocial groups, suggesting that the arrangement of individuals may provide some advantage for the group.
Odontomachus brunneus is a species of ant in the subfamily Ponerinae, found in the southeastern United States, parts of Central America, and the West Indies.
O. silvestrii may refer to:
Odontomachus cornutus is a species of ant in the Ponerinae subfamily.
Odontoponera is a small Southeast Asia genus of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae.
Ponerini is a tribe of Ponerinae ants with 46 genera and 6 extinct genera.
Odontomachus paleomyagra is an extinct species of formicid in the ant subfamily Ponerinae known from a Miocene fossil found in Europe.
Odontomachus assiniensis is a species of ponerinae ant known as a trap-jaw ant. The trap-jaw mechanism consists of mandibles which spring shut when triggered. This ant was first described in 1892 by the Italian entomologist Carlo Emery. The type locality is the Ivory Coast, where the coastal site of Assini, in the southeast, gIves the specific name assiniensis, "of Assini".
Odontomachus spinifer is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Ponerinae known from one possibly Miocene fossil found on Hispaniola. O. spinifer is one of two species in the ant genus Odontomachus to have been described from fossils found in Dominican amber and is one of a number of Odontomachus species found in the Greater Antilles.
Odontomachus pseudobauri is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Ponerinae known from one possibly Miocene fossil found on Hispaniola. O. pseudobauri is one of two species in the ant genus Odontomachus to have been described from fossils found in Dominican amber and is one of a number of Odontomachus species found in the Greater Antilles.
Odontomachus clarus is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Odontomachus relictus is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Odontomachus ruginodis, the rough-node snapping ant, is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Ondontomachini is a tribe of ants which belongs to the subfamily Ponerinae. Ondontomachini includes two genera: Odontomachus and Anochetus.
Thomas Borgmeier was a German-born priest and entomologist who worked in Brazil and became a specialist on the ants of the region and on the flies in the family Phoridae. He was also the founder of the journals Revista de Entomologia edited it from 1931 to 1951 and the Studia Entomologica from 1958.
Anochetus ghilianii is a species of ant of the subfamily Ponerinae, which is native to Morocco, and it also has a not confirmed status in Gibraltar and Spain, as scientists are not sure whether its native or exotic due having a very low area where it lives in the Iberian peninsula.
