从泰国进口椰色果中截获南方凹头臭蚁

依据形态学特征,对截获自泰国进口椰色果上的凹头臭蚁进行种类鉴定。经鉴定,该批凹头臭蚁为南方凹头臭蚁Philidris notiala ZhouZheng,经中国检验检疫科学研究院动植物检疫信息资源共享服务平台查询,系全国口岸首次截获。南方凹头臭蚁由周善义等人于1998年描述,此前仅知分布于中国广西的北流市,本次从来自泰国的椰色果上检出,是其在泰国分布的首次报道,是泰国新记录种。通过记述南方凹头臭蚁工蚁的形态特征,首次描述了该种雌蚁形态特征,给出了其与近缘种的区别,列出了世界凹头臭蚁属名录及分布信息,拍摄了工蚁和雌蚁成虫整体图,为该种的检疫鉴定、分布调查及防治提供参考。

The first interception of the ant Philidris notiala on Lansium domesticum originated from Thailand

The ants intercepted from Thailand on Lansium domesticum were identified by morphological characters. According to the information of website http://info.apqchina.org/, P. notiala was intercepted for the first time at China''s ports. P. notiala was described by Zhou and Zheng in 1998, and previously was considered a species endemic to Guangxi, China. This is a new record from Thailand. Through morphological characters of worker and queen, differences between two closely related species and illustrations of Philidris notiala Zhou & Zheng, and the species list and distribution of Philidris were provided in order to provide reference for port quarantine, distribution and control.
