And the new list:

I did some work with the hosts of Tetramorium and Pheidole:

Synonyms of host species

- T. impurum (Förster, 1850) (= Myrmica impura Förster, 1850)
- T. caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758) (= Formica caespitum Linnaeus, 1758)
- T. chefketi Forel, 1911 (= T. caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758) var. chefketi Forel, 1911)
- T. immigrans Santschi, 1927 (= T. caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758) var. immigrans Santschi, 1927)
- T. staerckei Kratochvíl, in Kratochvíl, Novák, Šnoflák, 1944 (= T. caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758) subsp. hungarica Röszler, 1935 ("1933-34") var. staerckei Röszler, 1936)
- T. diomedeum Emery, 1908 (= T. caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758) var. diomedea Emery, 1908)
- T. sepositum Santschi, 1918 (= T. gladstonei Forel, 1913 var. seposita Santschi, 1918)
- P. megacephala (Fabricius, 1793) (= Formica megecephala Fabricius, 1793) (= Formica edax Forskål, 1775)
- P. megacephala (Fabricius, 1793) subsp. melancholica Santschi, 1912 was originally described as P. punctulata Mayr, 1866 st. melancholica Santschi, 1912 (by AntWiki.). Or: Pheidole melancholica Santschi, 1912 (= P. punctulata Mayr, 1866 st. melancholica Santschi, 1912) (by AntWeb and AntCat.).
- The host species P. strobeli Emery, 1906 was known, during much of its history, as a subspecies of an other species, nl. P. nitidula Emery, 1888 subsp. richteri Forel, 1909 (a much used junior synonym of the older P. perversa Forel, 1908 subsp. richteri Forel, 1909) and known, in 1922, for a while as P. strobeli Emery, 1906 subsp. richteri Forel, 1909, this since Santschi, 1916. The species P. strobeli Emery, 1906 was revived from synonymy (with P. nitidula Emery, 1888 since Wilson, 2003) and the subspecies was synonymized with it in Casadei-Ferreira, Economo, Feitosa, 2020. Or: P. strobeli Emery, 1906 (= P. perversa Forel, 1908 subsp. richteri Forel, 1909)
- P. nitidula Emery, 1888 (= P. triconstricta Forel, 1886 var. nitidula Emery, 1888)
- P. obscurior Forel, 1886 (= P. susannae Forel, 1886 r. obscurior Forel, 1886)

There are problems with:

- P. megacephala (Fabricius, 1793) subsp. melancholica Santschi, 1912: Probably it will become the second but until then....
- P. strobeli Emery, 1906: It is the second but it needed the explanation to know how it was when the inquiline species was described.

The new file:

"P. megacephala (Fabricius, 1793) subsp. melancholica Santschi, 1912: Probably it will become the second but until then...."

Now that I have seen the reference for the second I must say it is "stupid". Compare with the original species but not the species to witch it now belongs.... Let the first be the best....

Changed this part:

A few marvellous biographies.

Ich muss sagen es ist viel zu Ruhig (?) uber Teleutomyrmex.....

Teleutomyrmex schneideri am ersten Fundort erneut gefunden
Eine sehr seltene Ameise, aber es gibt sie wirklich, und wahrscheinlich doch häufiger als es bisher den Anschein hat!

Die bei Tetramorium alpestre lebende Teleutomyrmex schneideri Kutter, 1950 (Ward et al. haben sie zu Tetramorium inquilinum Ward, Brady, Fisher & Schultz, 2014 umbenannt) wurde am 14. 08. 2021 nahe dem ursprünglichen Fundort bei Saas Fee im Wallis (Schweiz) wieder einmal gefunden, 71 Jahre nach dem ersten und im Saastal bisher einzigen Fund! (Ich selbst hatte die Art dort mehrfach vergeblich gesucht, dann aber,
50 Jahre nach den Erstfunden, im Wallis am Simplonpass eine weitere Kolonie entdeckt).
Siehe hier und ff. im Thread sowie hier (mit Bildern).
Die Publikation ist gerade erschienen:
Sämi Schär 2022: Neuer Fund der Endameise Tetramorium inquilinum Ward et al., 2015 (= Teleutomyrmex schneideri Kutter, 1950) beim Typenfundort Saas-Fee
ENTOMO HELVETICA 15: 91 – 97, 2022
Zusammenfassung: Die seltene, sozialparasitische Ameisenart Tetramorium inquilinum wurde am Typenfundort Saas-Fee (VS) nach 71 Jahren wiederentdeckt. Die Wirtskolonie wurde durch mitochondriale DNA und Morphometrie als Tet. alpestre Steiner et al., 2010 bestimmt. Das Habitat ist ein alpiner Rasen auf 2185 m ü. M. Die mögliche Verbreitung und Häufigkeit von Tet. inquilinum werden diskutiert.

Just one problem. But first a photograph of the article:

But now the problem:

An update of the host-synonimies:

The P. megacephala-problem is solved.....

The new pdf:

A few additional references...

The first reference new in the list of books outside the references for Teleutomyrmex and Anergates:

Hölldobler, B. K., Kwapich, C. L., 2022, “The Guests of Ants: How Myrmecophiles Interact with Their Hosts.” Cambridge, Mass., Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, xvi + 560 pp.

72 references.

Reference 105 for Teleutomyrmex:

Schär, S., 2022, “Neuer Fund der Endameise Tetramorium inquilinum Ward et al., 2015 (= Teleutomyrmex schneideri Kutter, 1950) beim Typenfundort SaasFee.“ Entomo Helvetica, vol. 15, p. 91-97.

This is all for the references. There are a few things more about references but see the introduction books list.

Reference 106, it seems to include also info about Teleutomyrmex:

Passera, L., Aron, S., 2005, “Les fourmis: comportement, organisation sociale et évolution.” Les Presses scientifiques du CNRS, Ottawa, Canada, 480 pp.

I must say, I ordered it once but I got the info back that it was not for sale in Europe......
