顎針蟻屬

蚁科的一属昆虫


顎針蟻屬 (Anochetus ) 主要棲息於熱帶亞熱帶地區,少數幾種棲息於溫帶地區,具有觸發式大顎 (trap-jaw) ,肉食性[1][2]。姊妹群為鋸針蟻屬[3][4],鋸針蟻屬和顎針蟻屬是鋸針蟻族下唯二的成員,Santos et al. (2010) 的研究支持鋸針蟻屬是由顎針蟻屬演化而來的假說[5]

物種描述

具有細長並向前延伸的大顎,能夠打開至接近 180° ,能夠以極快的速度閉合大顎。體型小至中等 (2.9 mm ~ 12 mm)。體色通常較為黯淡,棕色、黑色、紅色、黃色,有些物種雙色。

與易混淆物種的辨別方式

與鋸針蟻屬

鋸針蟻屬的腹柄節頂端具有一齒,而顎針蟻屬的具有兩齒或呈圓滑狀[6];鋸針蟻屬的頭部後方具有縫線,呈現倒 V 字形,有時候會稍微內凹,顎針蟻屬則呈現倒 U 字形[6]

與瘤顎家蟻

在野外小型的顎針蟻常和瘤顎家蟻搞混,但瘤顎家蟻有兩節腹柄節,而顎針蟻只有一節。
