Three ant, two wasp and one termite species were studied in Panama. Costa Rica of Brazil. Main results were : 1)A ponerine ant Gnamptogenys horni was often polygynous with wingless queens still showing no reduction of alate alitrunk. 2)Out of two primitive attine ants Myrmicocrypta ednaclla and Cyphomyrmex rimosus. the latter showed a unique behavior that they used the crop liquid for the substrates of fungus garden. 3)In two wasps Parachartergus smithii and P.fraternus. swarming females constructed the envelope at the most initial stage of foundation. unlike the swarm-founding polistines hitherto reported.The termite Masutitermes corniger often showed polygyny which were considered to derive from aduitoids.

在巴拿马研究了三种蚂蚁、两种黄蜂和一种白蚁。巴西的哥斯达黎加。主要结果如下：1）角形拟步行蚁Gnamptogenys horni经常是一夫多妻制，无翅蚁后的有翅翼树干仍然没有减少。2)从两种原始的蚂蚁Myrmicocrypta ednaclla和Cyphomyrmex rimosus中分离得到。后者表现出一种独特的行为，即它们将作物液体用作菌园基质。（3）在两种小蜂Parachartergus smithii和P.fraternus中。成群的雌性在地基的最初始阶段建造了围护结构。白蚁Masutitermes corniger常表现一夫多妻制，被认为是由成虫演化而来。
