The New World Gypsy Ants Of The Genera Aphaenogaster And Novomessor

Zusatztext

Aphaenogaster and Novomessor are similar genera of common soil and log nesting ants in North America, extending from Canada to northern South America. We revise the New World members of these genera and provide keys to the workers, females and males in English and Spanish, as well as diagnoses, illustrations, photographs and maps. Three new Mexican species of Aphaenogaster are described and five new synonyms are proposed.
