Fig. 5 in Out of the Neotropics: newly discovered relictual species sheds light on the biogeographical history of spider ants (Leptomyrmex, Dolichoderinae, Formicidae)
Description
Fig. 5. Results of BEAST and LAGRANGE analyses, and comparative morphology of dolichoderine wing venation. A, Chronogram of the Dolichoderinae, Leptomyrmex relictus sp.n. bolded; B, L. burwelli: complete (unreduced) wing venation; C, Chronoxenus javanus: loss of crossvein 2rs-m with retention of other veins; D, Dorymyrmex insanus (male): loss of Rsf2-3 in addition to loss of other abscissae; E, L. relictus sp.n.: loss of Mf2-3; F, L. fragilis: loss of Mf2-3, 2r-rs (note: pterostigmal appendage not illustrated); G, †L. neotropicus: loss of Rs + M, Mf2-3, 2rs-m, Mf4+, 2r-rs; H, †Leptomyrmula maravignae: loss of Mf2+, 2rs-m, 2r-rs; I, †Usomyrma mirabilis: loss of Rs + M with retention of 1m-cu and loss of Mf2-3. In part A blue bars are 95% confidence intervals; coloured circles near nodes are inferred inherited ranges, with the top half corresponding to the upper branch and bottom half with the lower branch; coloured circles next to terminals represent biogeographical coding; asterisks indicate calibrated nodes; bracketed letters to the right of terminal names indicate wing venation reduction pattern occurrence, with letters corresponding to the wing patterns B–F. Note that 1m-cu presence is variable for most taxa displaying loss pattern E, and some Linepithema species have lost Mf2-3. Figures H and I redrawn from Emery (1891) and Dlussky et al. (2014), respectively. Palaeo., Palaeocene; Oligo., Oligocene; Pl., Pliocene; Q, Quaternary.
