Résumé :
|
Monomorium amri sp. nov., a newly discovered ant species in the M. salomonis species group is described, based on the worker caste from the Asir Mountains in Saudi Arabia. It is distinguished from the closely related M. fayfaense Collingwood & Agosti, 1996, which also occurs in Saudi Arabia, by its short scape, shallow impressed metanotal groove and shagreened gastral tergites. Scanning Electron Microscope images are provided to aid identification, together with a comprehensive synoptic list of the Monomorium fauna for the Arabian Peninsula. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:B56BDE01-D9C4-456B-9DDD-751EA8C580FF
