The ant collection of the University of São Paulo Zoology Museum is a reference center in the safeguard and development of research of Formicidae, and for this reason an important repository of the neotropical myrmecofauna. As the state of São Paulo is a hub that congregates museums, universities and a large number of researchers, a considerable number of the material deposited in the col…
Ants are eusocial insects with the most ecological success and dominant in all of terrestrial ecosystems. However, the phylogenetic relationships among the main lineages represent an important source of uncertainty in the literature. This is the case of Myrmicinae; its position between Formicidae subfamilies and its internal phylogeny remain unclear. Among the 25 tribes of Myrmicinae, Myr…
Hylomyrma, a Neotropical ant genus that includes 31 species, represents a challenge to systematics. The traditional approach that brings together alpha taxonomy and morphological phylogeny has left some questions unanswered due to the existence of mosaic specimens and complexes of cryptic species within the genus. Thus, in order to understand better the speciation, the arisal of morpholog…
Hylomyrma is a Neotropical ant genus that includes 13 described species that dwell in the leaf-litter and all with cryptic habits. The identity of several species is unclear due to very brief original descriptions, and very small type-series, in all cases less than three individuals. Recently, leaf-litter surveys employing Winkler Extractors have increased the representation of Hylomyrma …
