New species of Lordomyrma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Southeast Asia and Fiji.

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Lucky, A., Sarnat, E. M. (2008): New species of Lordomyrma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Southeast Asia and Fiji. Zootaxa 1681: 37-46, URL: http://hol.osu.edu/reference-full.html?id=21815AbstractTwo new species of Lordomyrma are described: L. reticulata sp. nov. from Malaysian Borneo and L. vanua sp. nov. from Fiji. The occurrence of the former in Borneo expands the range of this genus to include Southeast Asia and the description of a new Fijian Lordomyrma indicates that this genus remains to be fully sampled, even in regions where it is considered to be well known. Taken together, these two findings suggest that Lordomyrma occupies a less disjunct distribution and is more widely distributed than previously suspected. There is a need for further sampling to reveal both diversity and distribution in this cryptic genus.Key words: Borneo, Fiji, Formicidae, Hymenoptera, Malaysia, Myrmicinae, new species, systematics, taxonomy
