includes several more-or-less geographically separated Indo-Australian faunas, which appear to represent the products of separate congeneric evolutionary radiations. The faunas of SE Asia and Japan, Australia, lowland New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, and Fiji differ distinctively in relative known species richness, in the apparent frequency of sympatric associations (and presumably of resulting interspecific competitive encounters), and in levels of interspecific morphological diversity. They are discussed below under individual headings. No fauna, except perhaps those of Australia and Fiji, can be considered well represented in collections.

It is characterized by 12- merous antennae, a simple sting with straight apex, triangular mandibles with seven or more teeth decreasing in size from apex to base, well-developed propodeal spines, a bicarinate clypeus and elongate frontal carinae. Some of these characters will be reassessed in the series of papers projected here.

The mainland Australian species are deployed along the continental east coast and Great Dividing Range, in rain forest or wet sclerophyll habitats, from Iron Range (12o S lat.) in the north, to central New South Wales (Shattuck, 1999, fig 502). Few sympatric associations are represented. The known Iron Range species has affinities with others from New Guinea (it is for example the only Australian species lacking antennal scrobes, structures absent in several New Guinean and some New Caledonian species).

(Figs 9, 10 - see also Sarnat's (2006) figures). The group is significantly species-rich considering the size of Fiji. It evidences morphological variability much less spectacular than in the western Melanesian and New Caledonian faunas, and essentially as low as that of the Asian and Australian species. Nine of the twelve known species are from relatively well-collected Viti Levu, and two only from Vanua Levu.

<paragraph id="94556C4679F1207EE66950F5A4EECAE3" pageNumber="24">Because of this high species richness and low morphological disparity, the Fijian species are of special interest relative to the very species-rich but additionally highly morphologically diverse faunas of lowland New Guinea and New Caledonia. These various faunas could well be important for analysis in comparative studies investigating the nature and mechanisms of speciation (generating species richness) and adaptive radiation(generating morphological and biotic diversity) among ants.</paragraph>

faunas of lowland New Guinea and New Caledonia. These differences in relative species density might have influenced the levels of morphological divergence in the several faunas, as effects resulting from ecological displacement among related competing species. The two main Fijian Islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, are together about as large as mainland New Caledonia - their areas are 4, 001 sq.mi. (c. 10, 360 sq.km.) and 2, 137 sq.mi. (c. 5, 535 sq.km.) respectively (Robson 1963).
