- Abstract
Alate ants captured in a Johnson-Taylor suction trap at two locations in South-Central Texas from March 1979 to August 1980 were preserved, counted, and identified to species and sex. At the College Station site, 24 species/morphospecies were identified, with three species being new Brazos County records; at the Ellis Prison Unit, 22 species/morphospecies were identified, with seven new Walker County records. Monomorium talbotae DuBois was collected from both counties and had not been previously reported from Texas. At the College Station site, the number of species/morphospecies and total number of alates collected were greatest in early to late summer. While peak alate nuptial flights coincided with warm temperatures during the late spring and summer months, rainfall seemed to have a less direct effect on the timing of nuptial flights.
