i5K Comments for Trachymyrmex zeteki
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 most basally diverging of those three clades, i.e., the sister group to the remaining higher Attini, contains the T. jamaicensis, T. iheringi, and T. opulentus groups as well as the genus Sericomyrmex. Comparative genomic data from a member of this group, such as T. zeteki, will be very important for understanding the origin of higher attine agriculture.
