antennal sockets
antennal sockets relatively far from clypeus
antennal sockets relatively far from clypeus
Antennal sockets and posterior clypeal margin separated by a distance equal to or greater than the minimum width of antennal scape. Within Antkey, his character state is used to separate species in the formicine genera Anoplolepis, Camponotus and Formica from Brachymyrmex, Myrmelachista and all those in Dolichoderinae.
antennal sockets entirely exposed
antennal sockets entirely exposed
Antennal sockets entirely exposed, not covered even partially by frontal lobes. In Antkey, separates the species of Amblyoponinae and Cerapachyinae from those of Ectatomminae, Myrmicinae and Ponerinae. The antennal sockets of Antkey species in the Dolichoderinae, Formicinae and Pseudomyrmecinae are also always at least partially covered.
antennal sockets close to clypeus
antennal sockets close to clypeus
Antennal sockets and posterior clypeal margin separated by a distance less than the minimum width of antennal scape. Within Antkey, his character state is used to separate all dolichoderines and various species of formicines from Anoplolepis, Camponotus, Formica, Brachymyrmex and Myrmelachista.
