| Abstract: | The ant genus Ishakidris from Sarawak is described as new. Its relationships with the Brasilian monotypic genus Phalucromyrmex Kempf and the Malagasy monotypic genus f‘ilutruchus Brown are discussed, and the Phalacrumymex genus-group is established to hold the three genera. The resemblances of Zshakidris to the smithistrumiform dacetinegenus Glamyivmyrmex Wheeler and the agroecomyrmecine genus Tatuidris Brown & Kempf are discussed and the similarities are analysed as the results of convergence in the characters concerned. |
