• W2312739307 abstract "The East African army ant Aenictus eugenii Emery includes 1 subspecies and 3 varieties. One of these, A. kenyensis Santschi, is placed in synonymy, and a taxonomic history of the species is presented. The queen for the species is described for the first time and is compared with the 3 other known African Aenictus queens. Observations of A. eugenii foraging behavior show that it is a column raider and a specialized predator of ants, particularly the immature stages, that the workers move along the foraging trails in single file in small tandem groups and that they normally subdivide their prey only when it is larger than they. Ants of the Old World genus Aenictus comprise the tribe Aenictini of the sub family Dorylinae or true army ants. The genus is represented by 34 species in the Indo-Australian region and by at least 15 species in Africa (Wilson 1964). Although Wilson (1964) taxonomically revised the genus for the Indo-Austra lian area, the known species in Africa are still spread among 60 nominal forms. Included in these are varietal and subspecies names that eventually must be dealt with if we are ever to appreciate the actual level of diversity achieved by this genus in Africa. The Asian species are also better known behaviorly than their African con geners. Important biological studies of Asian species include those of Wheeler and Chapman (1925), Chapman (1964) and Schneirla and Reyes (1966, 1969). Biological observations of sub-Saharan species are limited to a recent study by Gotwald (1975) and to fragmentary reports by Brauns (1901), Arnold (1915), and Sudd (1959). Some biological information on African species can be gleaned from the original species descriptions, but much of the information is little more than anecdotal.

Kistner, California State University, Chico, for kindly providing essential specimens and for identifying one of the myrmecophiles.

LXXXIV, SEPTEMBER, 1976 183 Aenictus eugenii Emery is distributed throughout much of East Africa, al though it is not frequently seen. During the past 4 years we have encountered the species only 6 times, but on 4 of these occasions, we were able to observe, to some extent, the behavior of the species. Dr. David H. Kistner, California State University, Chico, has kindly provided us with a series of workers and an associated queen of the species, and we are now able to describe the queen for the first time. We have also provided a taxonomic history of the species including a new synonym. TAXONOMY OF THE SPECIES" @default.
