Abstract

The stridulatory organ of the Crematogaster scutellaris (Olivier 1792) workers is being described, comparing their pars stridens present in six nests of this species, with one nest of Crematogaster auberti Emery 1869 and with the bibliographical data regarding other neighbouring species at our disposal. Both species and some Crematogaster scutellaris nests have shown significant differences. We propose several hypotheses which could explain these differences.

Résumé

Etude morphologique de l’organe stridulatoire chez deux espèces du genre Crematogaster: Crematogaster scutellaris (Olivier 1792) et Crematogaster auberti (Emery 1869) (Hymenoptera : Formicidae) L’organe de stridulation des ouvrières de Crematogaster scutellaris (Olivier 1792) est décrit. On compare les pars stridens issus de 6 nids de cette espèce avec ceux d’un nid de Crematogaster auberti Emery 1869 et avec les données de la littérature sur les espèces voisines disponibles. Les deux espèces et certains nids de Crematogaster scutellaris ont montré des différences significatives. Nous proposons plusieurs hypothèses pour expliquer ces différences.
