I am a "weekend" myrmecologist (= biologist focusing on ants).
I am conducting taxonomic studies of Asian species of the ant genus Pheidole > (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and biodiversity studies of Vietnamese ants, and I am also working on laying a solid basis for myrmecology (biology of ants) in Asia. Furthermore, as a core technique for my research topics, I am now developing my skill in producing multifocused images of small insects. Concerning my activities as a weekend myrmecologist, please visit ＜http://www.antist2007.com/＞ (Notice. If click the address then you will leave from this website).

      Eguchi K. A revision of Northern Vietnamese species of the ant genus Pheidole       (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae). Zootaxa 1902:1-118, 2008       Acknowledgements:
                   After I arrived at Noi Bai nternational Airport on a cloudy day in November                    1999, nine years slipped by. I, as a myrmecologist, have expended                    enormous efforts and spiritual force to conduct my research activities in                    Vietnam. My specimen boxes contain not only numerous specimens but                    also precious memories of my life in Vietnam. I wish to thank my friend                    Dr. Bui Tuan Viet who always accept a brash young Japanese. I am also                    thankful to foresters at the remote field stations and people in local                    villages. They always welcome me and provide facilities for my successful                    and happy days. They are indispensable contributors to my project. On                    15th October 2008, I would dedicate this publication to Vietnam and                    people living there, with all my heart.

      Abstract：Two species of the ant genus Acanthomyrmex EMERY, 1893 are
                     recognized from　Vietnam. Acanthomyrmex humilis sp.n. is described                       based on the major worker, minor worker and ergatoid queen. The                       major worker, queen,"dwarf queen", and male of A. glabfemoralis                       ZHOU & ZHENG, 1997 are also described for the first time, and the                       minor worker of this species is redescribed.Notes on the colony                       structure are given.
