498720C1AC3EF04338B4183A00120E49.taxon	diagnosis	Formicine ant with the following diagnostic characters. 1 Mandibles long (longer than head length), subparallel with a distinctive dentition pattern with the apical teeth the longest (Figs 7 - 10). 2 The mandibles can be opened up to 270 °. 3 Maxillary palps not exceeding half the distance between the buccal opening and the foramen magnum. 4 Clypeus anteriorly bilobed. antero-medially emarginate (Fig. 1). 5 Frontal carinae not present, but toruli prominent (Fig. 1). 6 Large eyes (El> 55). 7 Long erect hair present antero-ventral of the eyes. 8 Head posteriorly truncated and with a distinctive transverse lobe (Figs 1 - 2). 9 Pronotum anteriorly with transverse straight sculpture (Fig. 5). 10 Mesonotum tubular and forming a constriction of the alitrunk (Fig. 6). 11 On the dorsum of the meso- and metanotum restricted hair pattern. A group of symmetrically positioned hairs and the anterior part of the mesonotum and 2 to 6 hairs on the metanotal spiracles, rarely 1 to 2 single hairs on the margins between the two groups. 12 Propodeal spiracle round, situated at some distance from the declivous and the basal face (Fig. 42). 13 Anteriormost point of the metanotal petiolar cavity not crossing a line spanned between the anterionnost points of the metanotal coxal cavities. 14 Petiole squamiforme. 15 First gastral segment of Formica type (see Agosti, 1991, fig. 4). 16 First gastral tergite much smaller then the second. 17 Hind legs and and antennae with long, scattered, erect pilosity. 18 Mid and hind femora swollen.	en	Agosti, D.

498720C1AC3EF04338B4183A00120E49.taxon	discussion	Description. The palpal formula is variable, from 6 / 4 to to 3 / 3, in most cases 6 / 4 (44 %). The reduction of the terminal segments does not have a very distinct influence on the overall length of the maxillary palps, which generally do not reach beyond the midpoint between the buccal orifice and the foramen magnum. The frontal sulcus is in most species very distinct and wide, but can be absent, especially in the Myrmoteras, subgenus. The coloration is yellowish to dark brown with different brown shades and can be variable in some species. The diagnostic characters 1. 2, 4, 6 and 8 are very likely autapomorphies of the genus, as they are not present in other formicine genera. These make Myrmoteras one of the most easily diagnosable monophyletic formicine genera. v Phylogeny. Myrmoteras belongs to the Formica genus group, based on the construction of the first gastral stemite which is not part of the helcium (Agosti, 1991). The phylogenetic relationships of this genus within the subfamily and within the Formica genus group are not resolved, but are currently being studied (Agosti, in prep.). Within Myrmoteras the two sister groups Myrmoteras s. str. and Myagroteras can be diagnosed by the following autapomorphies: the labral shape and the presence of trigger hairs, and the frontal sulcus and mandibular bend character respectively (Moffett, 1985). Whereas these two clades are in congruence with the results of this study and additional material from Thailand in MHNG, not all the new species can be placed into Moffett's species groups. For this reason and without the re-assessment of the characters Moffett's species groups have been suppressed.	en	Agosti, D.

498720C1AC3EF04338B4183A00120E49.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Myrmoteras is an Indomalayian genus, with some species in Southern India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, and the islands west of the Wallace Line with the exception of Sulawesi and Lombok (see maps in Moffett, 1985). Within the Malay Archipelago, the subgenus Myrmoteras is restricted to the West of the Wallace Line and Myagroteras to the West of Weber's Line. The fauna of Sulawesi and Lombok deserve special attention. On Lombok brigitteae is the only species which has been collected so far. It has also been collected in Bali. The fine differences between the two populations have been considered as intraspecific, and indicate that there is a link with the islands west of the Wallace Line based on dispersal. In contrast, Sulawesi has an isolated fauna which, with its 10 species, is as rich as the fauna of Borneo, but does not share any species with any other islands. The low number of species found in Sumatra and Java is surprising. Both in Sulawesi and Borneo, wherever the genus Myrmoteras is present, there are almost always several species to be found. They are not necessarily in exactly the same habitat but rather present at different altitudes. Our collections in Java and Sumatra included the same collecting techniques and sampling strategy as in Sulawesi or in Borneo. It is thus probably an indication that Myrmoteras might have the highest number of species in Borneo and Sulawesi. Thailand and W-Malaysia are certainly underrated, with regard to the 13 species here described, an increase of over 70 % based on a few collecting sites and limited time. Mainland Asia has to be studied before generalizations can be made. However, Sulawesi and Lombok might very likely define the Eastern limits of the distribution, as specific collections from Seram, Flores, Timor and the Vogelkop did not reveal any Myrmoteras species (W. L. Brown, Jr, pers. com.; Agosti, unpubl.). The apparent high degree of endemism, if not contradicted by further collections, would make this genus an ideal object for biogeographic studies.	en	Agosti, D. (1992): Revision of the ant genus Myrmoteras in the Malay Archipelago (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). Revue Suisse de Zoologie 99: 405-429, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.10693
498720C1AC3EF04338B4183A00120E49.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. The biology of Myrmoteras ants is virtually unknown. They are elements of the leaf litter fauna in moist tropical forest, from lowland up to montane forests with the highest recorded altitude of a species at 2200 m in Assam. The uniform morphology, especially the head with the two long mandibles, indicate that all the species are predatory on soft bodied insects, which was observed in colonies kept in captivity (Moffett, 1985). Most Myrmoteras specimens have been collected from leaf litter samples from beneath rotting logs. In one case a Myrmoteras sp. has been observed on a shrub in the understory. Nests have been found in hollow dead twigs in the litter (Moffett, 1985).	en	Agosti, D. (1992): Revision of the ant genus Myrmoteras in the Malay Archipelago (Hymenoptera, Formicidae).
