Tiputini Rogeria
I have been busily updating my database with the new identifications I have just received from Jeffrey Sosa-Calvo and Stephanie Johnson, and will try to summarize them here. I will start with Rogeria, a species I found extremely difficult to ID to species. After reviewing all of my specimens, Jeffrey was able to identify 10 species of Rogeria, plus a single unidentified male. They are:
Rogeria blanda |
|---|
Rogeria ciliosa |
Rogeria JSC-001 |
Rogeria JSC-002 |
Rogeria lirata |
Rogeria micromma |
Rogeria scobinata |
Rogeria subarmata |
Rogeria tonduzi |
Rogeria unguispina |
Some interesting collection notes:
- unguispina specimens were all collected with Winklers
- subarmata specimens were all collected from canopy fogging
- scobinata was the most numerous and all but one specimen were collected with Winklers (the one specimen was hand collected)
- blanda was the second most common species with almost all specimens collected from the canopy
- all ciliosa specimens were collected in Winklers
- all micromma specimens were collected in Winklers
Rogeria
You have some really good collection of species. Yuo should mind writing it in a notebook and plan on publishing it in the end.
