i5K Comments for Trachymyrmex cornetzi
The genus Trachymyrmex is non-monophyletic, consisting of three distinct clades that form successively more inclusive sister groups to the remaining Trachymyrmex spp. and the leafcutting genera Atta and Acromyrmex. The clade containing T. cornetzi is the intermediate-diverging of those three clades, and is thus the sister group to the leafcutting ants (Atta and Acromyrmex spp.) plus the T. septentrionalis group. Comparative genomic data from T. cornetzi will therefore be very important for understanding the stepwise accumulation of genetic change underlying the evolution of higher attine agriculture and the origin of the leafcutting ants.
