Monomorium (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Arabian Peninsula with description of two new species, M. heggyi sp. n. and M. khalidi sp. n.
View through CrossRef
We present a revised and updated synoptic list of 44 Arabian
Monomorium
species, including two new species of the
M. salomonis
species-group:
M. heggyi
sp. n.
, and
M. khalidi
sp. n.
We propose the following new synonyms:
M. abeillei
André (=
M. wahibiense
Collingwood & Agosti
syn. n.)
;
M. areniphilum
Santschi (=
M. fezzanense
Collingwood & Agosti

M. niloticum
Emery (=
M. matame

; and
M. nitidiventre
Emery (=
M. yemene
Collingwood & Agosti
syn. n.
). An illustrated key and distribution maps are presented for the treated species. Ecological and biological notes are given when available. The majority of Arabian
Monomorium
species (24) are endemic to the peninsula. All except one of the remaining species are more broadly ranging Afrotropical and Palearctic species, supporting the view of Arabia as a biogeographical crossroads between these two regions.
Monomorium floricola
(Jerdon), the sole species of Indomalayan origin, is recorded for the first time from the Arabian Peninsula.
