Articles to be created
[edit]- User:Pengo/ants, ants ranked by commonness in publications
- See List of ant genera for redlink genera
- Winkler extraction
- Ant navigation
- Ant parasites
- Ant anatomy
- Trap-jaw ant - Currently a redirect to Odontomachus only; Perrichot et al (2016) notes the Haidomyrmecini, Anochetus, and Acanthognathus as all being "trap-jaw ants.
- Lioponera[1], Chrysapace[2], Eusphinctus[3], Ooceraea[4], Parasyscia[5], Syscia[6], Yunodorylus[7], Zasphinctus[8], Fulakora[9]
Articles in need of updating
[edit]- Update the (mostly tribal) taxonomy of the myrmicines per Ward, P. S.; Brady, S. N. G.; Fisher, B. L.; Schultz, T. D. R. (2015). "The evolution of myrmicine ants: Phylogeny and biogeography of a hyperdiverse ant clade (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)". Systematic Entomology. 40: 61–81. doi:10.1111/syen.12090. S2CID 83986771.
- Dorylinae - Talk:Dorylinae#2016 Revision
- Apomyrminae/Apomyrma - revived subfamily
- Solenopsis molesta - could use a clean up and more information and sources.
- Camponotus castaneus - No longer a stub, needs to be reviewed.
- Overbeckia
- Iberoformica and Iberoformica subrufa - inconsistent, likely need a merger.
Synonyms or misspellings
[edit]- Leptothorax recedens --> Temnothorax recedens
- Leptothorax minutissimus --> Temnothorax minutissimus
- Leptothorax duloticus --> Temnothorax duloticus
- Aphaenogaster bidentatus (misspelled?)
Myrmoxenus --> Temnothoraxnot fully accepted, notes added- Pheidologeton diversus --> Carebara diversa (merge needed)
- Pseudomyrmex ferruginea --> Pseudomyrmex ferrugineus??
- Lasius murphii --> Lasius murphyi ??
- Messor pergandei --> Veromessor pergandei
- Pheidologeton diversus --> Carebara diversa (Carebara is a more accepted name for this genus, and the species' name diversa is also more accepted but the page Pheidologeton diversus has more details on the species than the article Carebara diversa has, so if some contents were to be deleted during merger, I suggest that the contents on the article Pheidologeton diversus] to be kept.)
Species lists in need of updating
[edit]- Feel free to link articles containing out-of-date species lists here. See also aw-taxa (script for generating lists of genera/species from AntWeb's catalog).

Other tasks
[edit]Tasks by subfamily
[edit]- Create articles on all genera
- Create articles on all extant species
- Add species lists to all extant genera
- All articles: Add references or tag unreferenced paragraphs with {{cn}}. Articles should contain 100% referenced/tagged content.
- Expand subfamily article to at least start class.
