The Genus Prenolepis Mayr, 1861 (Formicidae) in the Greater Antilles, with an Outline of phylogenetic Relationships

摘要

This paper reviews the genus Prenolepis in the Antilles based on specimens (including fe- males and males) deposited in colections as well as fresh material. Results include the synonymy of P. gibberosa rogeri, the rising to new status of P. gibberosa albimaculata, and the description of a new species. The Antillean species form a monophyletic group which is apparently the most derived of the genus.
