Nomenclature
"Named species" represents the current tally of species for which we have reasonable identifications. Since this list is compiled from a number of sources (see home page) for which I have no access to specimens, I have also provided an estimated list of species based on this currently published work. This "Estimated species" can also translate roughly to "wild-ass guess" without the loss of too much meaning.
A word about the species names. All species names and authorities conform to Bolton (1995) supplemented by more recent literature. The taxa without an official Latin binomial are unpublished. Here is a key:
PSW unpublished=Phil Ward (UC Davis)—these are working species codes based on Ward’s study of Pseudomyrmex.
JTL Morphospecies=Jack Longino (Evergreen State College)—many of these are species codes from Longino's study of the La Selva fauna.
SC / JT / MEK Morphospecies=These represent species that failed to match existing collections at the MCZ. SC=Stefan Cover, curatorial assistant and JT=John Tobin, both at the Museum of Comparative Zoology and MEK= Mike Kaspari, University of Oklahoma. A fair number of MEK morphospecies are alates.
