Articles to be created
[edit source]- User:Pengo/ants, ants ranked by commonness in publications
- See List of ant genera for redlink genera
- Winkler extraction
- Ant navigation
- Ant parasites
- Ant anatomy
- Trap-jaw ant - Currently a redirect to Odontomachus only; Perrichot et al (2016) notes the Haidomyrmecini, Anochetus, and Acanthognathus as all being "trap-jaw ants. User:Tsrsilv updated this list in the disambiguation page to include several other genera considered to be "trap-jaw" ants, following Larabee and Suarez (2014)[1].
- Lioponera[1], Chrysapace[2], Eusphinctus[3], Ooceraea[4], Parasyscia[5], Syscia[6], Yunodorylus[7], Zasphinctus[8], Fulakora[9]
Articles in need of updating
[edit source]- Update the (mostly tribal) taxonomy of the myrmicines per Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2172: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value).
- Dorylinae - Talk:Dorylinae#2016 Revision
- Apomyrminae/Apomyrma - revived subfamily
- Solenopsis molesta - could use a clean up and more information and sources.
- Camponotus castaneus - No longer a stub, needs to be reviewed.
- Overbeckia
- Iberoformica and Iberoformica subrufa - inconsistent, likely need a merger.
Synonyms or misspellings
[edit source]- Leptothorax recedens --> Temnothorax recedens
- Leptothorax minutissimus --> Temnothorax minutissimus
- Leptothorax duloticus --> Temnothorax duloticus
- Aphaenogaster bidentatus (misspelled?)
Myrmoxenus --> Temnothoraxnot fully accepted, notes added- Pheidologeton diversus --> Carebara diversa
(merge needed)(Merged) - Pseudomyrmex ferruginea --> Pseudomyrmex ferrugineus??
- Lasius murphii --> Lasius murphyi ??
- Messor pergandei --> Veromessor pergandei
- Pheidologeton diversus --> Carebara diversa
(Carebara is a more accepted name for this genus, and the species' name diversa is also more accepted but the page Pheidologeton diversus has more details on the species than the article Carebara diversa has, so if some contents were to be deleted during merger, I suggest that the contents on the article Pheidologeton diversus] to be kept.)(Merged. Pheidologeton diversus content was added to Carebara diversa page.
Species lists in need of updating
[edit source]- Feel free to link articles containing out-of-date species lists here. See also aw-taxa (script for generating lists of genera/species from AntWeb's catalog).
- List of Camponotus species - multiple outdated taxa likely, multiple outdated taxa already corrected
