NEW on antbase.net in April 2010:

New species of Eurhopalothrix
This month we present our revision of the Eurhopalothrix-platisquama-group including the description of the new species Eurhopalothrix elke. This group of charismatic ants with its bizarre feather-like setae is restricted to the Sundaland with three species endemic to Borneo. Here you can download the Myrmecological News paper and go to Automontage pictures of all four species of this beautiful group of ants.

This month we present the last pictures from our visit at the Natural History Museum in London. We had a lot of fun at the Museum and would like to thank everyone at the Museum and at SYNTHESYS for making our visit possible and such a productive time. Thanks again to everyone!
