(Figs. 2G, 3)
Habitat and Biology: An adventive species native to the Palearctic, this species is collected in decaying plant matter such as compost heaps, Fuligo septica -infested bark chips, and grass piles, usually with pitfall trapping and Berlese extractions, but also with Lindgren funnel traps baited with ethanol.

(Figs. 2H, 3)
Habitat and Biology: This species is endemic to the eastern North American seashore, where it is found in rotting beach wrack. In Georgia, this species is found in large numbers under ideal conditions, which are apparently the large piles of dense and humid sea vegetation that are deposited on the north ends of the coastal barrier islands (TCM, pers. observation). The first author collected a large series of over 50 individuals in one such pile in midsummer on the north end of Tybee Island, but failed to collect it again, despite numerous attempts, in either May, July, or October on Sapelo or Jekyll Island on the eastern and southern ends of those islands.

description: E. pallipennis (LeConte, 1861) (Fattig 1937)
(Fig. 5A, D)
Habitat and Biology: A widespread species in the eastern US, this species is collected in large numbers in ethanolbaited canopy traps in hardwood forests (Bousquet 2003c; Ulyshen & Hanula 2007; unpublished data). The few host records available report specimens from flowers of Calycanthus spp., old codling moth borings, flowers of Rhododendron nudiflorum, Exobasidium galls on azalea, and Exobasidium symploci galls on Symplocos tinctoria, though none in large numbers. Various singletons were taken by beating, sweeping, and Berlese extractions. A congener, Europs fervidus, is found in flowers of atemoya in Puerto Rico (Jenkins et al. 2015) so E. pallipennis may be associated with a canopy-blooming flowering species in the eastern United States. This species is commonly collected during the summer months, but is active from spring through late fall.

description: Hesperobaenus rufipes LeConte, 1863 (Fattig 1937; Bousquet 2002b)
(Fig. 5B, D)
Habitat and Biology: A widespread eastern species, H. rufipes is found under bark of hardwood trees (Acer, Carya, Fagus, Quercus) where it eats fungal hyphae, probably mostly Fungi Imperfecti (see Justis 2009). All examined records are from the months of December to May, so it is possible the adults are winter-active.

(Fig. 5C, D)
Habitat and Biology: Only found in the extreme north of the state, this species is rarely collected in Georgia. While they are supposedly attracted to fermenting molasses traps (White 1983), the two specimens from Georgia were collected in an ethanol-baited Lindgren funnel trap. Adults are active during spring and summer months. Little else is known about this species.

Aenictus acerbus

description: Aenictus acerbus sp. n.
(Figs 1-3, 7, 8, 24)
Types. Holotype worker from 9km ENE Mt. Tozer, 12°43'S 143°17'E, Queensland, 5-10 July 1986, J.C.Cardale, ex. pan traps (ANIC, ANIC32-023688). Two paratype workers, same data as holotype (ANIC, ANIC32-023646).
Diagnosis. Head capsule entirely smooth and essentially uniformly coloured; scape relatively short (SI <91); sculpturing on pronotum extending posteriorly onto the main pronotal body; body larger (HW> 0.62mm). This species is morphologically similar to A. turneri but can be separated from it by its larger size and more extensive sculpturing on the pronotum.
Worker Description. Mandible narrow and subtriangular, with a large apical tooth and a smaller subapical tooth followed by 4-6 small teeth and a larger basal tooth; anterior clypeal border varying from weakly convex to weakly concave, located at or slightly posterior to anterior margin of frontal lobes in full face view; parafrontal ridges absent; subpetiolar process a large rectangular to elongate-rectangular projection; head entirely smooth, pronotum with weak, closely spaced punctures dorsally and anteriorly, smooth posterolaterally, remainder of mesosoma finely punctate with weak longitudinal rugae on lateral surfaces; body yellowred to light red-brown.
Measurements. Worker (n = 13) - CI 88-97; HL 0.66-0.73; MTL 0.59-0.67; HW 0.62-0.66; ML 1.07- 1.17; SI 81-91; SL 0.53-0.58.
Additional material examined. Australia: Northern Territory: Douglas Daly, CRC Clay Site A5 (Salvarani,A.) (TERC); Douglas Daly, CRC Clay Site A8 (Salvarani,A.) (TERC); PWCNT, Tiwi Island Fauna Survey FR (Woinarski,J.) (TERC); Solar Village Survey, Burnt Slope 3 (Andersen,A.N.) (TERC). Queensland: 9km ENE Mt. Tozer (Cardale,J.C.) (ANIC). Western Australia: Kimberley, CALM Site 4/3 (Weir,T.) (TERC).
Comments. This rare species is known from a limited number of collections in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, northern Northern Territory and on Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. All specimens were collection from pitfall traps or pan traps. It is very similar to A. turneri but the differences outlined above under Diagnosis seem to hold for all currently available specimens and it is here recognised as a separate taxon.

Types. Holotype worker from Baroalba Gorge, 12°50'S 132°52'E, 18 Nov. 1972, R.W.Taylor & J.E.Feehan, Acc. N. 72.1076, rainforest, under stone (ANIC, ANIC32-002810). 18 paratype workers, same data as holotype (ANIC, MCZC, QMBA, ANIC32-015781).
Diagnosis. Head capsule entirely smooth and essentially uniformly coloured; scape relatively long (SI> 89); subpetiolar process large and rectangular. This species is most similar to A. acerbus and A. turneri but can be separated from these by the longer scapes.
Worker Description. Mandible triangular, with a large apical tooth and a smaller subapical tooth followed by 6-7 (rarely 5) small teeth and a larger basal tooth; anterior clypeal border weakly convex to weakly concave, located at or anterior to anterior margins of frontal lobes in full face view; parafrontal ridges absent; subpetiolar process a large rectangular project, an elongate flange sometimes present on the posterior corner; head entirely smooth, pronotum weakly reticulate on collar, smooth posteriorly and laterally, mesonotum smooth, mesopleuron and propodeum finely punctate with longitudinal rugae laterally; body yellow-red, mesosoma slightly darker.
Measurements. Worker (n = 13) - CI 81-90; HL 0.55-0.62; HW 0.46-0.54; MTL 0.43-0.57; ML 0.84- 0.98; SI 89-96; SL 0.42-0.51.

(ANIC); S3 Mission Beach (Cermak,M.) (ANIC); Torres Strait, Murray Is. (Heatwole,H.) (ANIC); Weipa, MRRP Study Site N26 (Andersen,A.N.) (TERC).
Comments. This common species is found in northern Northern Territory and northern Queensland. It is most similar to A. acerbus and A. turneri but can be separated as outlined above under Diagnosis. It is probable that at least some of the males here associated with A. hilli may actually belong to this species.

description: Aenictus aitkenii Forel, rev. stat.
Aenictus aitkenii Forel, 1901: 475 (junior synonym of A. aratus by Wilson, 1964: 446; revised status as valid species). Aenictus aratus var. asiatica Forel, 1911: 453 (junior synonym of aratus by Wilson, 1964: 446; removed from synonymy with A. aratus, new synonym of A. aitkenii).
Types. Aenictus aitkenii: Worker syntypes from Kanara, Thana and Travancore, India (not examined). Aenictus aratus var. asiatica: Worker syntype from Sri Lanka (not examined).
Comments. This species is similar to A. aratus (with which it has been treated as a junior synonym) and A. nesiotis but differs in having a broader head (CI> 87 versus CI <88 in nesiotis), and broader and more bulbous petiole and postpetiole (both are narrower in aratus and nesiotis). The scape is also relatively longer than in the others (SI> 115 versus SI <115). It is similar to levior in the shape of the head but differs in having longer scapes. This species is so far known only from India and Sri Lanka.

Eciton (Aenictus) impressus var. levior Karavaiev, 1926: 425 (junior synonym of A. aratus: Wilson, 1964: 446; new status as full species).
Types. Worker syntypes from Buru Island, Indonesia (not examined).
Comments. Aenictus material from Indonesia is uncommon in collections and drawing conclusions on the species involved is difficult. However, it would appear that levior is a valid species and not a junior synonym of aratus as suggested earlier. Morphologically this species has a head shape similar to aitkenii (relatively broad) but the scape is shorter. However, this analysis is based on limited material and should be considered tentative until additional specimens become available. Material referable to this species has been examined from Sumatra, Indonesia, peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, Malaysia.

Aenictus similis Donisthorpe, 1948: 131 (junior synonym of A. ceylonicus by Wilson, 1964: 452; removed from synonymy with A. ceylonicus, new synonym of A. orientalis).
Types. Eciton (Aenictus) ceylonicus subsp. orientalis: Three worker syntypes from Wammar, Aru Island, Indonesia (ANIC, examined). Aenictus papuanus: Two worker syntypes from Malufu, Wharton Range, Papua New Guinea (MCZC, examined). Aenictus similis: Fourteen worker syntypes from Maffin Bay, Irian Jaya, Indonesia (2 in MCZC, examined).
Comments. In this species the pronotal humeral angles are well developed, causing the anterodorsal surface of the pronotum to be nearly vertical, in dorsal view the area between the humeral angles is weakly convex to weakly concave. This is in contrast to the otherwise similar A. prolixus and A. turneri where the humeral angles are weakly developed and the anterodorsal section of the pronotum is gradually sloping, the area between the humeral angles being moderately convex. In addition, A. orientalis can be separated from A. prolixus by the shorter scapes (SI 65-82 vs. 89-96) and from A. turneri by the yellow head and legs which contrast with the yellow-red mesosoma (the body is essentially uniform in colour in A. turneri). This species is known from eastern Indonesia and New Guinea.

Marine Organic Carbon Atlas

description: Marine conservation efforts targeting metazoans, including plankton, are crucial for maintaining marine ecosystem functions and services, such as ocean carbon sequestration. Vertical migration and trophic interactions involving metazoans significantly contribute to ocean carbon sequestration, with mesopelagic fishes and zooplankton playing key roles. Proposed expansions in fishing, targeting both mesopelagic fishes and krill, raise concerns about ecosystem impacts. However, gaps in data persist regarding how changes in metazoan abundance and biodiversity will affect carbon sequestration. To address this, we present the concept and early implementation steps of a Marine Organic Carbon Atlas which aims to synthesize data and develop ecosystem models for selected Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) like phyto- and zooplankton, and fish abundance and diversity. Incorporating habitat-forming variables like seagrass and macroalgae highlights their role in carbon sequestration. The atlas pilot demonstration, tested against modeling and science advisory needs, in particular those of integrated ecosystem assessments, aims to inform science-based conservation decisions, such as regulating emerging fishing of krill and mesopelagic fish to ensure ecosystem health and sustainable harvesting levels.
