Genus Lasius Fabricius View in CoL HNS
These ground-nesting ants also tend to prefer cooler habitats at middle to high elevations. Workers are generalized scavengers and often tend hemipterans. Species in the subgenera Acanthomyops HNS and Chthonolasius HNS are temporary social parasites on other Lasius HNS species. Species of Acanthomyops HNS were previously considered to represent a different genus, but are now known to be phylogenetically nested within Lasius HNS (see above under “Taxonomic Changes”).
Species identification: keys in Wilson (1955a), Wing (1968) ( Acanthomyops HNS ), and Mackay and Mackay (2002).
