By the way,I repent that vinoaat was casting shadow-on-the-fence for nothing. Top view-manikatum. In general, to define this tribe, the top view and "face"are primarily important. And only then other signs may be required (a view of the brush from below, a bend in the abdomen, etc.)

22.04.2014 22:59, алекс 2611

If I understood correctly the " median field of prm. segm." then just go to manikatum
Once again thank you all for your help

It seems that you have selected a scutellum (shield according to erminology of the "green" determinant)

Like the version from teapot-Chrysis angustula? smile.gif


As I saw at the end of the abdomen there are no teeth, it turns out that this is the genus Chrysura sp., but the view is not very similar to this colorshuffle.gif, I was more struck by the date of shooting April, spangles are very thermophilic confused.gif

This is a shield, an intermediate segment immediately below it

So is it worth taking a look at the smooth or shagra-trained midfield?

And yet, something I didn't find a topic in the Images of insects, where I could put more photos

In principle, you can look at it to understand what it's about. With a smooth median field and a transverse band on the platypus loti (=variegatum in green), but there the color is different.
Create a new theme, you can use it separately for sherstobits or for all megahilins in bulk.

Are you absolutely sure that the photo is Tapinoma? Today I took an ant from there and ran it through the determinant (my first experience smile.gif). It turned out to be Lasius niger. Maybe?


Since the platypus and the tip of the abdomen are not visible from below in the photo, I looked at the stalk. In lasiuses, the stem is in the form of a vertical plate. Just like the formics. Tapinoma has an oblique and rounded stalk. The front edge of the abdomen seems to lean on the stalk, partially covering it from above. I concluded that the photo shows a tapinoma. If possible, consider the lower edge of the trim under a good magnification. The tapinoma should have a small notch. The nigger doesn't have it. In addition, the anal opening at the tip of the abdomen in Niger is surrounded by a corolla of hairs, in tapinoma - in the form of a slit. These are the main differences.
I started from the shape of a stalk. In the photo, it is not the same as that of the Niggers, but it is very similar to the"Tapinomsky".

To be sure, you need to look at the stalk exactly in profile. Here at the link in the first picture are the main parts of the ant's body:
http://www.antvid.org/Proza/Morf1.html
The nigger has a stalk like the first one on top.
In tapinoma , it is like the second one from above, only slightly more voluminous in the front part.
You should look for a recess on the trim in the middle of the lower edge. The notch looks like this:

Thank you for your reply! Now I'll know what to pay attention to. smile.gif
I put forward my own version based on this information.
I myself was surprised by such an early meeting. In the forest, we still have snow everywhere, and along the local railway line along the southern exposure there is a fire-fighting furrow, where it is warm and dry. And the temperature rose to +15+18 degrees. Andrena vaga and clarkella, Colletes cunicularius also flew there. It's getting colder again today, and it's snowing and raining.
Here are a couple more 100% drops where you can see the end of the abdomen better. Yes, the teeth are not visible, so Chrysura sp.

Thank you for your explanations. You are right (and this is of course my fault) that nothing is visible in the photo! When I looked at an ant under a microscope... in a word, these are two big differences. The corolla of hairs at the end of the abdomen is undoubtedly there, so not Tapinoma. And I didn't see a notch in the trim. But there is one thing-maybe there are two types of ants rolleyes.gif

I don't think there are two types of ants. Apparently I was wrong. I looked at the photo again. Of course, the niggers of the first generations of the family are always much smaller and slimmer than the "ordinary" ones, but the stalk is very confusing. He's not that kind of guy. Don't you have a profile picture of an ant with its belly in normal condition (not turned sideways)?

It is better to deal with these two types yourself (without taking into account very similar types)...
Oh, like, the most common, and the differences are characteristic... Better remembered))

There are still photos in the profile, but the stalk on them, alas, is not visible (my legs get in the way). I'll try to take another picture, if I can post it.

You can see for yourself. The nigger has a stalk plate sticking out like this:
http://www.antweb.org/bigPicture.do?name=c...shot=p&number=1
Tapinoma doesn't have a plate at all. The stalk is rounded and partially covered by the abdomen on top.
http://www.antweb.org/bigPicture.do?name=c...shot=p&number=1
The difference is immediately visible when viewed live from the side.
I couldn't see the recess on the platypus and the anal opening in tapinoma once, even at 20x magnification. Now I carry a pocket microscope with 60x magnification.

good morning. Tell me what kind of Melecta? South of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Early May. On some small steppe flowers (something from the labial flowers). The female. quite a large one. 15 mm. Her face was covered with light, thick hair, and her eyes were sparsely raised on the trim. Shield with two spikes hidden under the hairs. 2-3 tergites with 2 old spots, 1, 4, 5 with one white spot.
