    На севере Центральной Шри-Ланки муравей Leptogenys chinensis специализирован на питании термитами-грибководами Macrotermitinae (Odontotermes, Hypotermes), самыми обычными в этих местах. Муравьи распознают термитов по их запаху и предпочитают охотится на рабочих и половые формы. Другие термиты (Nasutitermitinae, Rhinotermitinae) иногда используются , а иногда и отвергаются. Отказ и принятие не коррелируют с систематическим положением термитов. Обычные гнезда L. chinensis содержат 200-300 рабочих. Externally the female ergatoids do not differ from the workers. The ants live in naturally available cavities and move nests frequently. We investigated the communication of this species in relation to foraging and nest-moving. While foraging, single workers lay a light exploration trail with venom. Successful scouts return to the nest and perform recruiting runs. Experiments with various blocked pheromone glands and decoys showed that the secretions of the poison gland and the Janet gland have to be applied to the ground. By this means groups of workers are recruited and led to a feeding place by a scout. When the scout was removed such groups would still, although slightly disturbed, find their way to the prey. Workers running alone are also observed. The secretion of the Janet gland has a recruiting effect, whereas the venom consists of two compounds: a compound of low volatility responsible for orientation, and a highly volatile compound which we interpret as being a way of estimating the age of the trail. In most cases the recruited workers return singly to the nest. Retrieval of the prey in groups is primarily observed with captured termite sexuals. Males use the trails to find and enter alien nests. In addition to the three chemical signals, stridulation with the gastral stridulatory organ is used as a mechanical signal in the frequent event of nest-moving, which is accomplished within few minutes.

    Переселение и рейды у Leptogenys sp. 1 в Юго-восточной Азии напоминает поведение L. mutabilis, было исследовано в полевых условиях в Малайзии (Ulu Gombak, Malaysia). Семьи их моногинные в которых до 52100 рабочих. The bivouac sites of this species were found in leaf litter, rotten logs, ground cavities, etc. and werre rarely modified by the ants. The colonies stayed in these temporary nests for several hours to 10 days; afterwards they moved to a new nest site. The emigration distances ranged from 5-58 m. Since nest changing takes place at irregular intervals, and pupae and larvae are always present in the nest relocations of Leptogenys sp. 1, the emigration behavior is not linked to a synchronzed brood development. Leptogenys sp. 1 is a noctural forager; in our study op to 42600 workers partecipated in each raid. The ants moved forward on a broad front; behind the swarm a fan-shaped network of foraging columns converges to form a main trunk trail. A new system of foraging trails is developed in each raid. The workers search for their prey collectively; they attack and retrieve the booty together. The diet of Leptogenys sp. 1 consists mainly of arthropods. Army ants behavior is characterized by (1) formation of large monogynous colonies, (2) frequent emigrations, and (3) mass raids in which all foraging activities are carried out collectively. Since Leptogenys sp. 1 performs these typical army ant behavior patterns, this species represents the army ant ecotype. However, this species differs considerably from army ant species that have synchronized broods and huge colonies with dichtadiiform females.

    Странная некритическая работа, запоздавшая на полвека. Обзор фауны муравьев Индии со списком 219 видов. Маловато, конечно, для тропической Индии. Но автор ещё и добавляет на полном серьезе два вида рода Atta (!!!), которые нигде кроме Америки не обитают. Jerdon (1851) действительно описал сразу 50 видов в тот год, в том числе и Atta, которые не сохранились и их надо рассматривать как "unidentifiable or unrecognisable taxon". Бингхем (1902) приводил для Индии 498 видов из 79 родов. Позднее, Chapman and Capco (1951) зафиксировали для Азиатского субконтинета 2080 видов, 441 подвид и 684 вариетета из 176 родов. Зато, автор статьи приводит такие интересные цифры для Ориентального региона (включая Индо-Австралию) - 227 родов (включая 27 эндемиков) и 2480 описанных видов. Из них 771 из Ориентального региона и 1709 из Индо-Австралийского региона.

    Several glandular sources of trail pheromones have been discovered in army ants in general. Nevertheless, at present the understanding of the highly coordinated behavior of these ants is far from complete. The importance of trail pheromone communication for the coordination of raids and emigrations in the ponerine army ant Leptogenys distinguenda was examined, and its ecological function is discussed. The secretions of at least two glands organize the swarming activities of L. distinguenda. The pygidial gland is the source of an orientation pheromone holding the group of raiding workers together. The same pheromone guides emigrations to new nest sites. In addition, the poison sac contains two further components: one with a weak orientation effect and another which produces strong, but short-term attraction and excitement. The latter component is important in prey recruitment and characterizes raid trails. This highly volatile recruitment pheromone allows the extreme swarm dynamic characteristic of this species. Emigration trails lack the poison gland secretion. Due to their different chemical compositions, the ants are thus able to distinguish between raid and emigration trails. Nest emigration is not induced chemically, but mechanically, by the jerking movements of stimulating workers.
