山旺蚁属、种(Shanwangella palaeoptera Zhang,1989)的修正及其有关问题

THE EMENDATION OF Shanwangella palaeoptera Zhang AND ITS CONCERNED PROBLEMS

根据张俊峰于 1989年发表的 1个新属新种——古翅山旺蚁 Shanwangella palaeopteraZhang,1989的分类根据 ,经检验 ,对该属、种进行修正 ,作为 1个未定种归入老属 ,即弓背蚁属未定种 Camponotussp.。

The genus and species? hanwangella palaeoptera,collected from Miocene Shanwang Formation(N 2)of Shanwang basin in Shandong Province,were established by Zhang J.F.in 1989 according to following three features:(1)forewing Sc existing and elongate;(2)antennae consisting of four segments,among them flagellum with three segments.Zhang J.F.considers that the antennae of this genus is very particular and rare,and must be not likely for all subfamilies of the family—Formicidae;(3)mandible long,with 2 3 teeth.After through examination for above generic features,it is very regret that these generic features do not tally with facts,as follows:(1)Forewing Sc absent,and it is just as C.(2)Antennae isn't preserved,and used in insteaded of forelegs,i.e.the antennal scapus is just as Tibia,flagellum as Tarsus.(3)Mandible is preserved very badly and uncompletely,and cann't offer evidence for establishment of this genus.From a judgement upon facts,Zhang's new genus Shanwangella(including species)cann't be established.Its features are belonging to the realm of the generic characteristics of Camponotus Mayr,1861.Thus,the Shanwangella including certain species(Camponotus sp.)could be translated into the Camponotus.
