Tetramorium is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae that includes more than 520 species.[1][2] These ants are also known as pavement ants.

Taxonomy and phylogeny

Tetramorium was first described by Gustav Mayr in 1855 in the same publication as Monomorium.[3]

Revision within the genus by Wagner et al. in 2017 recognized a complex of 10 cryptic species, 3 of which were raised from subspecies classifications and 2 of which were newly described. This revision also elevated the pavement ant introduced to North America as the species T. immigrans rather than the previous designation as a subspecies of T. caespitum. These 10 species in the T. caespitum complex are as follows:[4]

  • Tetramorium alpestre Steiner, Schlick-Steiner & Seifert, 2010
  • Tetramorium breviscapus Wagner et al., 2017
  • Tetramorium caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758)
  • Tetramorium caucasicum Wagner et al., 2017
  • Tetramorium fusciclava Consani & Zangheri, 1952
  • Tetramorium hungaricum Röszler, 1935
  • Tetramorium immigrans Santschi, 1927
  • Tetramorium impurum (Foerster, 1850)
  • Tetramorium indocile Santschi, 1927
  • Tetramorium staerckei Kratochvíl, 1944

Description

Workers of most species have a ridged clypeus, an appendaged stinger, mandibles with 3 or 4 teeth, and antennae with 11 or 12 segments or with 3-segmented clubs on the tips.[2] The genus is divided into several species groups defined by various characters.[2]

Distribution

Most species are distributed throughout the Afrotropical and Oriental regions. Ten species have been recorded from Japan . One species of pavement ant, T. immigrans, is native to Europe and was probably introduced to North America starting in the 18th century.[5][4]

Biology

Most known species nest in the soil, in decaying wood, or in leaf litter. Some live in trees or in termite nests.[2]
