i5K Comments for Sericomyrmex amabilis
The genus Sericomyrmex is a highly derived clade nested within a larger clade that is the sister group to all other higher attine ants. Sericomyrmex species are of great interest to attinology for a number of reasons, including their lack of visible actinomycetes on the integument and the extremely short branches separating the species, suggesting that they may be the result of a recent rapid radiation. Like leafcutting ants, at least some Sericomyrmex spp. harvest fresh vegetation (flowers and other soft plant parts). Comparative genomic data from a Sericomyrmex species will be very important for understanding evolution within the higher Attini. Ted Schultz
