This new record represents the northern-most record in the distribution of Tetramorium polymorphum .</p><p>Taxonomic note.</p><p>Tetramorium polymorphum is a member of the Tetramorium walshi species group. Its identification is not easy since the species was not known when Bolton (1976) published his revision of the genus Triglyphothrix (now Tetramorium), in which he provided keys to the Indo-Malayan and Austral-Asian Tetramorium walshi and Tetramorium obesum species groups. However, by combining Bolton’s (1976) work with the recent species description of Yamane and Jaitrong (2011) the identification is relatively straightforward. It is very similar to the closely related and sympatric Tetramorium kheperra Bolton, 1976, and the identification key of Bolton (1976) will lead the user to that species. The recent addition to Bolton’s key provided by Yamane and Jaitrong (2011) clearly separates both species.</p><p>Natural history.</p><p>Tetramorium polymorphum is a very special member of the genus Tetramorium since it is the only known species that possesses a polymorphic worker caste divisible into distinctive minor, media and major workers (Yamane and Jaitrong 2011). Yamane and Jaitrong (2011) also report that this species is comparatively aggressive and hypothesize that the major worker could have a defensive function. In addition, they emphasize that Tetramorium polymorphum is only found in undisturbed rain forest habitats in Thailand and Laos. Our data from Yunnan supports this since it was predominantly sampled from rain forest.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E60F0E9BEB77FEAB7B4D93263947FA83	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Despite its wide distribution and tramping ability, there is very little information about its biology. In addition to Bolton (1977), Sarnat and Economo (2012) also confirm that Tetramorium tonganum is able to establish populations outside its native range without damaging or significantly altering ecological or agricultural systems in its introduced habitats. They also report that Tetramorium tonganum is mostly found on vegetation in disturbed or edge habitats.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D8D067CAFE99C4D2DF61134D60863E04	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
