Type specimens of the traditional Myrmicinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) ant tribes deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil: Adelomyrmecini, Basicerotini, Blepharidatt ini, Crematogastrini, Formicoxenini, Lenomyrmecini, Myrmicini, Phalacromyrmecini, Pheidolini, Stegomyrmecini, Stenammini and Tetramoriini

Abstracts

The present catalogue lists ant types of 12 traditional Myrmicinae ant tribes (Adelomyrmecini, Basicerotini, Blepharidattini, Crematogastrini, Formicoxenini, Lenomyrmecini, Myrmicini, Phalacromyrmecini, Pheidolini, Stegomyrmecini, Stenammini and Tetramoriini) housed in the Formicidae Collection of the Hymenoptera Laboratory, Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP), Brazil, completing the publication of Myrmicinae types deposited in this institution. We adopted the traditional classification for Myrmicinae tribes to follow the already published catalogues regarding the Attini, Cephalotini, Dacetini and Solenopsidini and published catalogues in this series. In total, the present catalogue includes types of 213 nominal species, of which 169 are still valid. Twelve species listed here are represented by holotypes only, 28 by holotypes and paratypes, 102 species by paratypes only, 65 species by syntypes, and five species by lectotypes and paralectotypes. We record the label information, morphological condition of the specimens, nomenclatural changes, and type status, following the recommendations of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN).

INTRODUCTION

The Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP) houses today one of the leading zoological collections of Latin America, summing approximately 10 million liquid or dry preserved specimens (Landim, 2011). There are about seven thousand primary types deposited in the MZSP collections.

The MZSP Formicidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) collection holds one of the most important collections worldwide for the Neotropical region, regarding to the number of types, species and specimens, as well geographic coverage, due to the acquisition of the Kempf-Borgmeier collection in 1977 (Brandão, 1991; Klingenberg & Brandão, 2005) and material more recently added by several collaborators, including C.R.F. Brandão (curator since 1981), his students and associates, especially from localities not represented before (Esteves et al., 2011). In addition, the collection also houses specimens collected by Nicolas Kusnezov, William Mowry Mann, Carlos Bruch and Hermann von Lüderwaldt.

As proposed by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999) when treating institutional responsibilities - "every institution in which name-bearing types are deposited should make them accessible for studies, publish lists of name-bearing types in its possession or custody, and so far as possible, communicate information concerning name-bearing types" - we are publishing a series of catalogues listing the ant type specimens deposited in MZSP collection. The catalogues published thus far include fungus-growing ants (Myrmicinae: Attini) (Klingenberg & Brandão, 2005), Poneromorphs (Amblyoponinae, Ectatomminae, Heteroponerinae, Ponerinae and Proceratiinae) (Scott-Santos et al., 2008), Pseudomyrmecinae (Brandão et al., 2010), Dorylomorphs (Aenictinae, Ecitoninae, Cerapachyinae and Leptanilloidinae) (Esteves et al., 2011), Dacetini and Solenopsidini (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) (Ulysséa & Brandão, 2013) and Cephalotini (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) (Prado & Brandão, 2013). Our aim is to encourage further studies on ant taxonomy and also to avoid unnecessary movement of precious, sometimes unique, specimens.

The present catalogue is the seventh in a series of MZSP ant types and the fourth on Myrmicinae ant types, dealing this time with 12 tribes: Adelomyrmecini, Basicerotini, Blepharidattini, Crematogastrini, Formicoxenini, Lenomyrmecini, Myrmicini, Phalacromyrmecini, Pheidolini, Stegomyrmecini, Stenammini and Tetramoriini - out of the 25 tribes traditionally recognized to this subfamily (Bolton, 1995, 2003, 2013, 2014; Ward, 2007). Recently, Ward et al. (2014) redefined the Myrmicinae tribe boundaries and proposed a six wider concept tribe scheme - Attini, Crematogastrini, Myrmicini, Pogonomyrmecini, Stenammini and Solenopsidini (^Appendix, Table 1). As this catalogue completes the series on this subfamily, we are using the traditional tribe classification because we already published type catalogues of the MZSP Attini (Klingenberg & Brandão, 2005), Cephalotini (Prado & Brandão, 2013), Dacetini and Solenopsidini (Ulysséa & Brandão, 2013), and also because the published ant taxonomic catalogues have not incorporated this proposal still. Myrmicinae is the largest, most diverse and successful Formicidae subfamily, including 143 valid genera, 6.444 valid species and 824 valid subspecies (Bolton, 2014). The 12 tribes considered here comprise 85 valid genera (one incertae sedis), 4.422 valid species and 662 valid subspecies (Bolton, 2014).

The purpose of this catalogue is to list the ant type specimens of these 12 Myrmicinae tribes, providing label information, conservation status of the specimens and current taxonomic situation, following the recommendations of the ICZN (1999).

MATERIAL AND METHODS

For preparation of the catalogue, information from the ant type labels was compared to the original descriptions - which can be easily found on the Global Ant Project website (gap.entclub.org/taxonomists/index.html), the Ant Cat website (www.antcat.org) (Bolton, 2014), the catalogues of identifier numbers of Thomaz Borgmeier, Walter Wolfgang Kempf and MZSP collection. The nomenclature of type specimens was updated following the ICZN (1999).

The combination of type names is quoted in alphabetical order by species name, according the genus they are presently organized. We used the following abbreviations: Coll. = collection, Coll. Borgm. = T. Borgmeier Collection, Coll. Bruch = Carlos Bruch Collection, Coll. Kempf = W.W. Kempf Collection, Coll. Mann = W.M. Mann Collection, Coll. Kusn. = N. Kusnezov Collection; W = worker, S = soldier (major worker), G = gyne (Feitosa & Brandão, 2008), E = ergatoid, M = male; col(s). = collector(s) and leg. = legit. Furthermore, to indicate the conservation status of the type specimens recorded in the present catalogue, we used: A = antenna, A1 = left antenna, A2 = right antenna; W = wing, W1 = anterior left wing, W2 = posterior left wing, W3 = anterior right wing, W4 = posterior right wing; L = leg, L1, L2 and L3 represent the left legs and L4, L5 and L6 the right legs. MP is an abbreviation for Museu Paulista, of which the old Zoological section became the present MZSP in 1939.

In order to record information related to the MZSP Myrmicinae ant types, the following order is adopted in the present catalogue (although we do not have complete information for all entries): species name in the original combination (in alphabetical order by species within genera), author, publication year, page number, posterior taxonomic assignments, type category, number of type specimens of each sex or caste, place of collection, date, collector, original collection name, collection number or collection code and other information. All this information is taken from labels and listed as completely as they appear on the labels, compared with information in the original publication. We also comment on the conservation status of specimens. When appropriate, we indicate broken body parts glued to the paper triangle that holds the type specimen, or the lost ones.

Additional information, present in publications but not recorded on labels, is presented in brackets; for the sake of clarity, we also added further information that we were able to recover from different sources. At the end of each species entry we present, when necessary, the present valid name of the taxon corresponding to the type specimen listed. Finally, we present an index of all the valid names listed in the present catalogue and their respective synonyms or current combinations. The complete information regarding all names listed here can be found in (Bolton 2013, 2014).

RESULTS

This catalogue gathers information on types of 213 nominal species - 210 species and three subspecies (169 valid), including 103 individuals (796 workers, 154 soldiers, 64 gynes, three ergatoids and six males) of 25 recognized genera (Adelomyrmex, Aphaenogaster, Basiceros, Blepharidatta, Crematogaster, Cryptomyrmex, Diaphoromyrma, Eurhopalothrix, Hylomyrma, Lachnomyrmex, Lenomyrmex, Myrmica, Nesomyrmex, Ochetomyrmex, Octostruma, Phalacromyrmex, Pheidole, Pogonomyrmex, Rhopalothrix, Rogeria, Stegomyrmex, Stenamma, Temnothorax, Tetramorium and Wasmannia) (^Appendix, Table 2). These species are represented by 12 holotypes only, 28 by holotypes and paratypes, 102 by paratypes only, 65 by syntypes, five by lectotypes and paralectotypes.

(2) The collection also have three specimens (1S 2W) from BRAZIL, São Paulo, Campo Limpo, 20.ii.1966, W.W. Kempf leg., Coll.

This author also says that the types of P. descolei are deposited in MZSP (Wilson, 2003), but according to the original publication (Kusnezov, 1952b) the type locality is Salta, Argentina. Thus we do not consider these specimens as types.
