A total of 43 species belonging to 18 genera and 4 sub\|families were recorded. Of the four subfamilies the two subfamilies—Myrmicinae and Formicinae—had the most number of species and the species compositions of them were very different according to different slopes. Myrmicinae was the dominant group in south slopes and Formicinae was the dominant group in north slopes. Species compositions of genus in different slopes were also distinct. \%Myrmica, Formica\% and \%Aphaenogaster\% were dominant in south slopes and \%Myrmica\% was dominant in north slopes. The widely distributed species accounted for larger proportion and the oriental ones were equal to the Palearctic ones. In Formicinae the widely distributed species were dominant and the Paleartic ones were subordinant to them. In Myrmicinae, the Oriental species were dominant and the Palearctic ones were subordinant to them.展开更多

Description is given for the worker caste. The species is morphologically close to S. karawajewi Pisarski. A key based on worker caste is preposed for the 3 species known in China. The type specimens of the new species is deposited in the Insect Collection, College of Forestry, Northwest Sci Tech University of Agriculture and Forestry.展开更多

Results show that the Stegelytrinae mainly occur in the Oriental Region and in the Mediterranean area of the Palaearctic Region, and this extends to the east side of both Wallaee＇s and Weber＇s lines. Eleven areas of endemism of this subfamily are recognized. The proportions of endemic taxa in different areas of endemism are generally very high in comparison with other leaflaopper groups, but distinct differences could be found among the different areas of endemism of Stegelytrinae. This subfamily is most intensively diversified in the Indochina Peninsula （INCN）. This is the stegelytrine distribution center, having the highest biodiversity at both genetic and species levels. The dendrogram of endemic areas of Stegelytrinae constructed using cluster analysis of the zoological distribution of Stegelytrinae at generic level shows the endemic areas of Stegelytrinae can be divided into 4 large groups. Relationships among different endemic areas of Stegelytrinae correspond largely to the geologic history of related areas, which indicates that the evolution and vicariance of this subfamily have been closely related to the history of continental drift and climate changes. It is deduced that the presumed monophyletic Stegelytrinae originated in the Oriental Region after North America had separated from Eurasia; this is the case in the monophyletic genera group which is supported by the lateral frontal sutures extending dorsally well beyond the corresponding ocellus. In addition, two expanding traces of the Stegelytrinae are presumed, which remain plausible explanations for the dispersal of Stegelytrinae： （1） New Guinea （and probably （＋ Australia）） - Kalimantan - Sumatra - Malay Peninsula - Indochina Peninsula - Central and Southern China - （Southwestern China ＋ Nepal ＋ Northeastern India） - （Northwestern India ＋ Eastern Afghanistan）; and （2） Indochina Peninsula- Central and Southern China- （Western Asia ＋ Mediterranean Sea coastal area）.展开更多
