This group is recognized in workers and females by a combination of: antennae of 12 segments with club of 2 segments, median portion of clypeus forming a longitudinal platform and the lamelliform setae in the internal border of the mandibles. This last trait, unknown in other ants, is proposed as autapomorphy for the Adelomyrmex genus-group. The group contains two genera, Adelomyrmex Emery , 1897 (Neotropics, New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa) and Baracidris Bolton, 1981 (Africa), with 26 species (12 described as new) as follows: Adelomyrmex betoi Fern\u00e1ndez sp.n. (M\u00e9xico); A. biroi Emery, 1897 (New Guinea), A. boltoni Fern\u00e1ndez sp.n. (Brazil and Paraguay); A. brevispinosus Fern\u00e1ndez, 2003 (M\u00e9xico and Costa Rica); A. costatus Fern\u00e1ndez sp.n. (Colombia); A. cristiani Fern\u00e1ndez sp.n.

(Kenya and Gabon); B. sitra Bolton, 1981 (Gabon). A key to workers of genera and all species is provided, with illustrations of most of them. The first queen for American Adelomyrmex and the first male of Adelomyrmex are described. The distribution of the group suggests an ancestor that lived in Gondwana before the splitting off of Africa and also suggests that ants could have originated earlier than the known fossil record.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.11646\/zootaxa.361.1.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,26]],"date-time":"2016-09-26T01:48:13Z","timestamp":1474854493000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Revision of the myrmicine ants of the Adelomyrmex genus-group (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)"],"prefix":"10.11646","volume":"361","author":[{"given":"FERNANDO FERN\u00c1NDEZ","family":"C.","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4913","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"27220","unstructured":"<p>Andrade, M. de &amp; Baroni Urbani, C.

Theyare small, litter-inhabiting ants most often collected in Berlese and Winkler samples. Although the genus and its relativeshave a pantropical distribution, Central American cloud forests are the only places where they are abundant and diverse.Several Adelomyrmex species are mountain-top endemics with very restricted ranges, and climate change clearly posesthe threat of mountain-top extinction. The 21 Mexican and Central American species are treated in some detail and a keyto the 26 mainland New World species is provided. Nine new species are described, eight from Mexico and Central Amer-ica (A. anxiocalor sp. nov., A. bispeculum sp. nov., A. dentivagans sp. nov., A. marginodus sp. nov., A. metzabok sp. nov.,A. nortenyo sp. nov., A. paratristani sp. nov., and A. quetzal sp. nov.) and one from the oceanic Isla del Coco in the easternPacific (A. coco sp. nov.). New synonymy is proposed for Adelomyrmex tristani (Menozzi, 1931) (= A. brevispinosus Fern\u00e1ndez, 2003, syn. nov.).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.11646\/zootaxa.3456.1.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,16]],"date-time":"2019-04-16T04:16:41Z","timestamp":1555388201000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["&lt;span lang=\"EN\"&gt;A review of the ant genus Adelomyrmex Emery 1897 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in Central America&lt;\/span&gt;"],"prefix":"10.11646","volume":"3456","author":[{"given":"JOHN T.","family":"LONGINO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4913","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"36582","unstructured":"<p class=\"HeadingRunIn\">Antweb (2012) <em>AntWeb<\/em>, California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, California, USA.
