TAXONOMIC STUDIES ON THE GENUS FORMICA L. OF CHINA (HYMENOPTERA:FORMICIDAE)

  • Received Date: 1989-08-29
  • In the paper, 2 new species of the Genus are described. Among the species, 6 new records (Formica longiceps, F. lemani, F. gagatoides, F. aquilonia, F. polyctena and F. glauca) from China and 2 new status (Formica sinae and F. approximans) are mentioned. Formica pratensis var. superba is a new synonym of F. uralensis and F. rufibarbis var. glabridorsis is a new synonym of F. cunicularia. A revisionary key to worker caste of Chinese species is provided. Formica beijingensis, sp. n. (figs. 1, 15)The new species is close to F. fukalii Wheeler and F. longiceps Dlussky with erect hairs on eyes, but can be distinguished from them in the outstanding hairs of the gastric tergites presenting only on the 3rd segment to the end, in the rounded clypeus, and in the profemora longer and FI over 94.Holotype: worker, Mt. Baihuashan, Beijing, 142 Ⅹ 1987, Wu Jian and Wang Changlu legs. Paratypes: 46 workers, from the holotype's nest; 3 workers, Mt. Baihuashan, Beijing, 20 Ⅸ 1987, Feng Lingmin leg. Formica wongi, sp. n. (figs. 10, 18)The new species resembles F. sinensis Wheeler and F. yessensis Forel, but it can be distinguished from the former by no hairs on the pronotum (sometimes having l-2 hairs in the front) and tergites l-3 of the gaster, body rather dull, and SI over 100; and from the latter by the sparse outstanding hairs on whole body. Holotype: worker, Yongjie, Jielin Prov., 6Ⅹ1983, Gu Huansheng leg. Paratypes: 38 workers with the same data as the holotype.The species is named after Dr. H. K.
