A morphometric comparison of three closely related species of Myrmica (Formicidae), including a new species from England

摘要: In the course of a population study on Myrmica sabuleti Meinert miniature queen was found in some colonies. This paper describes form as new parasitic species, hirsuta sp.n., and shows how an analogous male identified. Twelve measurements were then made sample males females this species these compared with M. scabrinodis Nyl. using multivariate discriminating technique. The status is discussed.
