一种新的原始澳大利亚蚂蚁Myrmagnesipilosula的兄弟物种，其染色体数目为n = 1。C-分带技术证实了工蜂的两条染色体是同源的。雄性是单倍体，和其他的水虻一样，它们的体细胞只含有一条染色体。这一新物种在基因组织的实验室和野外研究中具有潜在的重要意义。
A new sibling species of the primitive Australian ant Myrmecia pilosula has a chromosome number of n = 1. C-banding techniques confirm that the two chromosomes of workers are homologous. Males are haploid, as in other Hymenoptera, and their somatic cells contain only a single chromosome. This new species is potentially of great importance in both laboratory and field studies on gene organization.
