3D Cybertype datasets for: Pheidole klaman sp. N.: A new addition from Ivory Coast to the Afrotropical pulchella species group (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Myrmicinae)

In this study we update the taxonomy of the Pheidole pulchella species
group for the Afrotropical region and we describe the new species P.
klaman sp. nov. We integrate the new species into the existing taxonomic
system by providing an updated identification key for the whole group and
updating the known distribution ranges of its members. We provide high
quality focus stacking images, along with X–ray micro–CT scanned digital
3D representations, of major and minor worker type specimens. The
Cybertype dataset provided in this study consist of the full micro-CT
original volumetric datasets (in DICOM format), 3D surface models (in PLY
formats), 3D rotation video files (in MP4 format), all stacked digital
color images, and all image plates including all important images of 3D
models for each species. In addition to the cybertype data at Dryad, we
also provide freely accessible 3D surface models of all treated species on
Sketchfab (holotype: https://skfb.ly/o68Qw; paratypes:
https://skfb.ly/o68Qq & https://skfb.ly/o68Qo).
