A new ant genus from the Greater Antilles and Central America, Zatania (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), exemplifies the utility of male and molecular character systems

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The ant genus Prenolepis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is the nominal member of the recently established Prenolepis genus‐group within the subfamily Formicinae. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses using fragments from five nuclear genes (arginine kinase, carbomoylphosphate synthase, elongation factor 1‐alpha F1, elongation factor 1‐alpha F2, wingless) and one mitochondrial gene (cytochrome oxidase I) indicate that thi...
