"A name is forever, or at least as long as taxonomy continues,"
Barry Bolton writes, and here are all the names, antique and
modern, of all the ants that are or ever were--from the arctic to
the tropical, the fossilized to the living, the mislabeled to the
newly christened members of the family Formicidae. For every name
that has ever been applied to ants, the book supplies a history and
an account of current usage, together with a fully documented
indication of the present-day classification. Its comprehensive
bibliography provides references to original description, synonymy,
homonymy, changes in rank, status, and availability, and
alterations in generic status.
Organized by family group, genus group, and species group, this
meticulously detailed but easily used volume is the ultimate
resource for myrmecology. Along with Bolton's "Identification Guide
to the Ant Genera of the World, it will be the essential reference
for anyone, expert or amateur, with an interest in ants.
