The biology of the fungus-growing ants. Part. I. New forms. 1

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Neal A. Weber, University of North Dakota (1936): The biology of the fungus-growing ants. Part. I. New forms. 1. Revista de Entomologia 7: 378-409, URL: http://antbase.org/ants/publications/3011/3011.pdfThe new fungus-growing ants (Attini) here described were collected in the course of studies on the general biology of these ants from 1934 to 1936 in the West Indies and Northern South America. New forms are described in the genera Mycocepurus, Myrmicocrypta, Apterostigma, Sericomyrmex, Mycetophylax, Trachymyrmex, and Acromyrmex (Moellerius). A number of new forms in the genus Cyphomyrmex will be described in a subsequent paper. Many records extending the range of previously known species will, be included in later studies of individual species and genera from the broad standpoint of habits, fungus grown, nest structure, ecology and other phases of their biology.
