Hi Brendon,

Out of general curiosity, how well documented are ant distributions in
general? For example, antweb.org shows a distribution for
Stereomyrmex where there are records in Sri Lanka, then nothing until
northwestern Australia and another record off Rennell Island in the western
Pacific. Is this disjunction real or is it an artifact for an ant group
that is easily overlooked (since many other ant genera are documented for
the S E Asia 'gap'.

Ant biogeography looks really interesting. Wish I had more time for it.

Cheers, John
