Re: The extreme, workerless inquilines.

Ad Baroni Urbani 1967!

Hi Teleutotje,
A couple of weeks ago you asked for information on a paper of Baroni Urbani 1967, here
I found out that I possess a reprint!
Here are the importent pages (I can send you a scan of the whole paper, if you wish).
Baroni-1-219.jpg
Deckblatt
Baroni-2-220.jpg
Titelblatt
Baroni-3-221.jpg
"Epimyrma"
Baroni-4-223.jpg
Page with Teleutomyrmex
Baroni-5-222.jpg
Summary

Die Arbeit ist ziemlich überholt, da man z. B. annahm, dass Anergates atratulus in Europa und Nordamerika konvergent entstanden sei. Heute sind wir sicher, dass diese extrem parasitisch abgewandelte Art zusammen mit ihren Tetramorium-Wirten aus Europa nach Nordamerika gebracht worden ist.
Die in der Arbeit ebenfalls erwähnten, ehemals für Sozialparasiten gehaltenen Arten der Gattung Xenometra wurden inzwischen als ergatoide Männchen-Form in der Gattung Cardiocondyla entlarvt, u. a. durch Baroni Urbani: Baroni Urbani, C. 1973a. Die Gattung Xenometra, ein objektives Synonym (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). Mitt. Schweiz. Entomol. Ges. 46: 199-201 (page 199, Xenometra as junior synonym of Cardiocondyla) - https://www.e-periodica.ch/digbib/view? ... :1973:46#5
Da inzwischen mehrere Gattungen einst des Sozialparasitismus „verdächtigter“ Arten sich als abweichend gestaltete Formen (meist Gynen) ganz normaler Ameisen erwiesen haben (z. B. Epixenus und Xenhyboma), darf man sich keinesfalls verwirren lassen durch die jüngeren Synonymisierungen von Ward et al.2015: Die Arten der Gattungen Anergates, Teleutomyrmex, Chalepoxenus und Myrmoxenus sind und bleiben echte Sozialparasiten, auch wenn jene Autoren sie mit ihren jeweiligen Wirtsgattungen synonymisiert haben!- Nicht alles ist gut, was aus den USA kommt, leider auch in der Myrmekologie. :(

MfG,
Merkur

@ Teleutotje: Diesen Buchbeitrag von R. J. Stuart 2002 kenne ich selbst nicht, und deswegen ein allgemeines Buch über Parasitismus für 120 $ zu kaufen, ist mir zuviel. Ich erwarte darin allerdings keine „großen“ Neuigkeiten. Robin hat selbst bei T. M. Alloway über sklavenhaltende Ameisen gearbeitet (zusammen haben wir u.a. in Québéc Harpagoxenus canadensis gesammelt). Üblicherweise hat man damals noch Sonderdrucke seiner Publikationen ausgetauscht, später dann per E-Mail PDFs, aber das kommt zunehmend aus der Mode…. :roll:
Gewöhnlich wird man als Spezialist für bestimmte Themen von Buch-Herausgebern bzw. Verlagen aufgefordert/gebeten, solche Beiträge zu liefern. Zunächst fühlt man sich geehrt. ;) Aber meist ist eine bestimmter Umfang vorgegeben. Da ist es oft aufwendig, viel Literatur zum Thema durchzuarbeiten, und natürlich möchte man auch eigene Ergebnisse unterbringen, wofür dann doch nur wenig Raum ist. Inzwischen lehne ich solche Anfragen einfach ab.
Der Beitrag von R. Stuart im MN-Artikel wird S. 58 zitiert mit:
„Likewise, Tetramorium inquilinum (=Teleutomyrmex schneideri) queens are small compared with their hosts, have unusually large tarsal claws, and spend much of their time riding around on the backs of their host queen (Stuart 2002).“ - Viel mehr dürfte in dem Buchbeitrag 2002 auch nicht stehen. ;)

Teleutomyrmex.

From AmeisenWiki, on 14/03/2020, from 12:30 till 12:35:

“Teleutomyrmex.
Teleutomyrmex ist eine Gattung aus der Unterfamilie Myrmicinae. Sie umfasst nur zwei Arten, T. schneideri (Westalpen, Pyrenäen, Kasachstan) und T. kutteri (Südspanien, Sierra Nevada, bisher nur ein Volk gefunden).
Es handelt sich um arbeiterinnenlose Sozialparasiten in Nestern von Tetramorium cf. impurum. Die Tiere sind extrem selten. Auch von T. schneideri wurden seit der Entdeckung (1949 im Schweizer Wallis) bis 2006 nicht mehr als 15 Völker gefunden.
Die stark physogastrischen Königinnen hocken fast permanent auf dem Rücken der Wirtskönigin angeklammert. Ihre zahlreiche Nachkommenschaft kopuliert im Mutternest (vgl. Anergates atratulus). Wie die Ausbreitung erfolgt, ist unbekannt.
Verwandtschaftlich leitet sich Teleutomyrmex aus der Gattung Tetramorium ab.
Ergänzung 30. Aug. 2007: Die arbeiterinlose sozialparasitische Ameise Teleutomyrmex schneideri wurde nun erstmals in Spanien nachgewiesen. Zwei Gynen fanden sich in Bodenfallen im Norden der Provinz Léon auf 1.660 m Meereshöhe. Das sind ungefähr 700 km westlich des nächstgelegenen Fundortes in den französischen Pyrenäen. Der Fund unterstreicht, wie außerordentlich verstreut und isoliert die Vorkommen dieser Art sind (Espadaler & Cuesta 2006).”

Distribution.

Palaearctic Region: France, Iberian Peninsula, Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland (type locality), Turkmenistan.
Biology.
As reported by Hölldobler and Wilson (1990) - This remarkable species was discovered by Heinrich Kutter (1950a) at Saas-Fee, in an isolated valley of the Swiss Alps near Zermatt. Its behavior has been studied by Stumper (1950) and Kutter (1969), its neuroanatomy by Brun (1952), and its general anatomy and histology by Gösswald (1953). A second population has been reported from near Briançon in the French Alps by Collingwood (1956) (see also Wegnez et al. 2015), a third in the French Pyrenees by Buschinger (1987c), and still others in the Spanish Sierra Nevada by Tinaut Ranera (1981). The latter was described as a separate species, Tetramorium kutteri (as Teleutomyrmex kutteri), by Tinaut Ranera (1990). Appropriately, the name Teleutomyrmex means "final ant."
The populations of T. schneideri, like those of most workerless parasitic ant species (Wilson, 1963), are small and isolated. The Swiss population appears to be limited to the eastern slope of the Saas Valley, in Juniper-Arctostaphylos woodland ranging from 1,800 to 2,300 m in elevation. The ground is covered by thick leaf litter and sprinkled with rocks of various sizes, providing, in short, an ideal environment for ants. The ant fauna is of a typically boreal European complexion, comprising the following free-living species listed in the order of their abundance (Stumper, 1950): Formica fusca, F. lugubris, Tetramorium caespitum, Leptothorax acervorum, L. tuberum, Camponotus ligniperda, Myrmica lobicornis, M. sulcinodis, Camponotus herculeanus, Formica sanguinea, F. rufibarbis, F. pressilabris, and Manica rubida. For some unexplained reason this little assemblage is extremely prone to social parasitism. Formica sanguinea is a facultative slavemaking species, preying on the other species of Formica. Doronomyrmex (= Leptothorax) pacis, a workerless parasite living with Leptothorax acervorum, was discovered by Kutter as a genus new to science in the Saas-Fee forest in 1945. In addition, Kutter and Stumper found Epimyrma (= Myrmoxenus) stumperi in nests of Leptothorax tuberum, as well as two parasitic Leptothorax, goesswaldi and kutteri, in nests of L. acervorum (Kutter, 1969).
Tetramorium inquilinum is a parasite of Tetramorium caespitum and Tetramorium impurum. Like so many other social parasites, it is phylogenetically closer to its host than to any of the other members of the ant fauna to which it belongs. In fact, it may have been derived directly from a temporarily free-living offshoot of this species, since T. caespitum and T. impurum (the host species at Briançon and in the Pyrenees) are the only nonparasitic tetramoriines known to exist at the present time through most of central Europe. It is difficult to conceive of a stage of social parasitism more advanced than that actually reached by Tetramorium inquilinum. The species occurs only in the nests of its hosts. It lacks a worker caste, and the queens contribute in no visibly productive way to the economy of the host colonies. The queens are tiny compared with most ants, especially other tetramoriines; they average only about 2.5 mm in total length. They are unique among all known social insects in being ectoparasitic. In other words, they spend much of their time riding on the backs of their hosts (Figure 12-1). The T. inquilinum queens display several striking morphological features that are correlated with this peculiar habit. The ventral surface of the gaster (the large terminal part of the body) is strongly concave, permitting the parasites to press their bodies close to those of their hosts. The tarsal claws and arolia are unusually large, permitting the parasites to secure a strong grip on the smooth chitinous body surface of the hosts. The queens have a marked tendency to grasp objects. Given a choice, they will position themselves on the top of the body of the host queen, either on the thorax or the abdomen. Deprived of the nest queen, they will then seize a virgin Tetramorium queen, or a worker, or a pupa, or even a dead queen or worker. Stumper observed a case in which six to eight T. inquilinum queens simultaneously grasped one Tetramorium queen, completely immobilizing her. The mode of feeding of T. inquilinum is not known with certainty. The adults are evidently either fed by the host workers through direct regurgitation or else share in the liquid regurgitated to the host queen. In any case, they are almost completely inactive most of the time. The T. inquilinum adults, especially the older queens, are highly attractive to the host workers, who lick them frequently. According to Gösswald, large numbers of unicellular glands are located just under the cuticle of the thorax, pedicel, and abdomen of the queens; these are associated with glandular hairs and are believed to be the source of a special attractant for the host workers. The abdomens of older T. inquilinum queens become swollen with fat body and ovarioles, as is shown in Figure 12-1. This physogastry is made possible by the fact that the intersegmental membranes are thicker and more sclerotized than is usually the case in ant queens and can therefore be stretched more. Also, the abdominal sclerites themselves are widely overlapping in the virgin queen, so that the abdomen can be distended to an unusual degree before the sclerites are pulled apart. The ovarioles increase enormously in length, discard their initial orientation, and infiltrate the entire abdomen and even the postpetiolar cavity.
From one to several physogastric queens are found in each parasitized nest, usually riding on the back of the host queen. Each lays an average of one egg every thirty seconds. The infested Tetramorium colonies are typically smaller than uninfested ones, but they still contain up to several thousand workers. The Tetramorium queens also lay eggs, and these are capable of developing into either workers or sexual forms (Buschinger, personal communication). Consequently the brood of a parasitized colony consists typically of eggs, larvae, and pupae of T. inquilinum queens and males mixed with those of Tetramorium workers.
The bodies of the T. inquilinum queens bear the mark of extensive morphological degeneration correlated with their loss of social functions. The labial and postpharyngeal glands are reduced, and the maxillary and metapleural glands are completely absent. The mandibular glands, on the other hand, are apparently normal. In addition, the queens possess a tibial gland, the function of which is unknown. The integument is thin and less pigmented and sculptured in comparison with that of Tetramorium; as a result of these reductions the queens are shining brown, an appearance that contrasts with the opaque blackish brown of their hosts. The sting and poison apparatus are reduced; the mandibles are so degenerate that the parasites are probably unable to secure food on their own; the tibial-tarsal cleaning apparatus is underdeveloped; and, of even greater interest, the brain is reduced in size with visible degeneration in the associative centers. In the central nerve cord, ganglia 9-13 are fused into a single piece. The males are also degenerate. Their bodies, like those of the males of a few other extreme social parasites, are "pupoid," meaning that the cuticle is thin and depigmented, actually greyish in color; the petiole and postpetiole are thick and provided with broad articulating surfaces; and the abdomen is soft and deflected downward at the tip.
In its essentials the life cycle of Tetramorium inquilinum resembles that of other known extreme ant parasites. Mating takes place within the host nest. The fecundated queens then either shed their wings and join the small force of egg layers within the home nest or else fly out in search of new Tetramorium nests to infest. Stumper found that the queens could be transferred readily from one Tetramorium colony to another, provided the recipient colony originated from the Saas-Fee. However, Tetramorium colonies from Luxembourg were hostile to the little parasites. Less surprisingly, ant species from the Saas-Fee other than Tetramorium caespitum always rejected the T. inquilinum. However, Buschinger (personal communication) has pointed out that the Saas-Fee population could be caespitum or impurum, or a mixture of both. In other words, the transfer might have been attempted across species.

They differ from Tetramorium kutteri by larger CS and DLO / CS, and by much longer and more erect pilosity on appendages and whole body. They differ from Tetramorium buschingeri by smaller CW / CL, larger DLO / CS, by the dorsolateral margins of the propodeum forming distinct carinae, and by much less developed microsculpture on lateral mesosomal sclerites and petiole.
Distribution.
Distribution based on Regional Taxon Lists.
Palaearctic Region: Turkey (type locality).
Biology.
Kiran, et al. (2017) - The type series was collected from a Tetramorium cf. chefketi nest located under a stone in a Pinus sylvestris L. forest older than 100 years. There are many trees about to die because of their old age, and therefore there are very large sun exposed areas on the forest ground. The ground is not inclined near the nest because the nest site is placed on the top of the hill.
The habitat is similar to that reported by Tinaut (1990) for the type locality of Teleutomyrmex kutteri.

Type Material.
Holotype (gyne) from Turkey, Artvin, Yusufeli, 3 km NW of Kınalıçam Village, N 40° 45' 36", E 41° 34' 46", 1801 m above sea level (a.s.l.), 25.VI.2013, 13 / 1592c, leg. K. Kiran, C. Karaman & V. Aksoy (in Collection of Biological Department, Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey). Paratypes: 16 gynes, 7 males from same nest as the holotype (14 gynes, 5 males in Collection of Biological Department, Trakya University, Edirne; 1 gyne, 1 male in Sofia University, Bulgaria; 1 gyne, 1 male in Senckenberg Museum of Natural History Görlitz, Germany.
Etymology.
The species is dedicated to Dr. Bernhard Seifert for his great contributions to this study.”

“Tetramorium buschingeri.
A Bulgarian social parasite found in the nest of a of Tetramorium species nesting under a rock in a grassland.
Identification.
Kiran, et al. (2017) - Gynes differ from the other three Teleutomyrmex species by the absence of any carinae or teeth on dorsal surface of propodeum, by a very short dorsal profile of propodeum, by a much stronger developed reticulate or alveolate microsculpture covering the whole surface of lateral mesosoma and petiole and by smaller CL / CW. Furthermore, they differ from Tetramorium seiferti by a much smaller DLO / DFC (0.567 - 0.600 vs. 0.667 - 0.786). Additional differences to Tetramorium schneideri are a larger HTL / CS and a smaller EL / CS, and to Tetramorium kutteri a much smaller CL / CW, larger PW / CS and HTL / CS, and smaller ClyW / CS.
Distribution.
Distribution based on Regional Taxon Lists.
Palaearctic Region: Bulgaria (type locality).
Biology.
Kiran, et al. (2017) - Host: The two dealated queens were found on the back of a dealated queen of Tetramorium cf. chefketi together with few host workers in the nest. The host ant species belongs to the T. chefketi species complex in contrast to the hosts from the T. caespitum / impurum complex reported for Tetramorium schneideri and Tetramorium kutteri in Europe.
The nest of Tetramorium cf. chefketi with Teleutomyrmex buschingeri was found under a stone on a southern slope of a dry grassland situated in an oak forest. The habitat type is quite different from the known habitats of related species. The altitude of 640 m, where the species was sampled, is notably less than the altitudes of the localities of the other ultimate ant parasites (1600 - 2300 m) (excluding one in Turkmenistan).
Nomenclature.
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's New General Catalogue, a catalogue of the world's ants.
buschingeri. Teleutomyrmex buschingeri Lapeva-Gjonova, in Kiran, et al. 2017: 151, figs. 3b, 4b, 5b (q.) BULGARIA.
[Note: Kiran, et al. 2017: 146, retain the paraphyletic genus Teleutomyrmex.]
Unless otherwise noted the text for the remainder of this section is reported from the publication that includes the original description.
Description.

“Key to parasitic Tetramorium species.
This queen key is based on: Kiran, K., Karaman, C., Lapeva-Gjonova, A. & Aksoy, V. 2017. Two new species of the “ultimate” parasitic ant genus Teleutomyrmex Kutter, 1950 from the Western Palaearctic. Myrmecological News 25: 145-155.
Originally assigned their own genus, Teleutomyrmex, these ants prey on other Tetramorium species. The species Tetramorium atratulum is not included in this key and bears no resemblance to the other parasites in the genus.
