20231 citationOpen accessUniversity of Tunis El Manar

Abstract

A new Tunisian ant species, Cataglyphis convexus sp.n., is described based on the morphological traits of its workers. The species is endemic to Tunisia. The taxonomic position of C. convexus is not clear; it shares features of the altisquamis-, emmaeand bicolor-groups, but differs from all species of these genera by the presence of a V-shaped cavity at the level of the apical margin of the petiole.
