Predatory Insects

The paralysis behavior of some ponerine ants when foraging may be important for food storage and colony development. However, how workers invest in paralysis under different prey circumstances is often overlooked. Here, we report the prey-foraging behavior and paralysis behavior of Harpegnathos venator under different food supply conditions. Solitary hunting was the main foraging mode of H. venator, with occasional simple collective hunting. Nymphal cockroaches with high activity were the most attractive to H. venator. In the experiment, we found that the stings of H. venator completely paralyzed the cockroaches. The stinging time was significantly longer at a higher prey activity level and for larger cockroaches. In addition, there was no significant difference in the stinging time of H. venator for different prey densities. The results showed that the longer similar cockroaches were stung, the longer it took for them to revive and move. These results are helpful for further understanding the behavioral mechanism underlying the food storage of live prey by predatory insects.

A New Species

Rhynchomicopteron necaphidiforme sp. n. is described from West Malaysia, where it is associated with a Ponerine ant. The female matures a single egg at atime. Silvestri's (1947) specimen from lndo-China attributed to R. caecutietts Schmitz is recognised as a new species and named R. silvestrii sp. n. A key to the eleven known species of Rhyrtchonticropteron is provided.
