Tetramorium inquilinum : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tetramorium inquilinum
''Tetramorium inquilinum'' is an ectoparasitic ant found in the France and Switzerland. It was discovered by Swiss myrmecologist Heinrich Kutter.〔Hölldobler, Bert & Wilson, Edward O.. (1994); ''Journey to the Ants: A Story of Scientific Exploration'' Cambridge, Massachusetts: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press〕 The species is unique for lacking a worker caste, the queens and males living entirely off the care of the pavement ant. ==Morphology== The body shape of ''Tetramorium inquilinum'' is specifically adapted. The queens average 2.5 mm in length, and have a concave form and large pads and claws. ''Tetramorium inquilinum'' is frail and unable to care for itself, with mandibles too small and weak to handle anything but liquid food, sting and poison glands small, and glands that produce food for larvae and protection against bacteria are completely absent. Its exoskeleton is thin and its brain and central nerve cord are small and simplified.
