| Megalomyrmex
specimens needed
I am currently revising the ecuadorian
species of this solenopsidine genus as my undergraduate thesis,
at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Quito.
At the moment, 16 of the 32 recognized species of the genus
are present in Ecuador, with at least 1 new species to be described
in the future.
I would love to have Megalomyrmex
specimens collected anywhere in Ecuador, Colombia or Perú
(preferably in EtOH), but the Andean and subandean material
will be most welcome. Additional information (e.g., field observations,
records, etc.) will be also appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
