  • <p><i>The Crematogaster difformis-subgroup</i></p><p>The relationships of the sister-species in the <i>C</i>. <i>difformis</i> -subgroup were variable with respect to their geographical distribution patterns. <i>Crematogaster ampullaris</i> and <i>C</i>. <i>seaeardi</i> display an allopatric distribution, whereas <i>C</i>. <i>difformis</i> and <i>C</i>. <i>tanakai</i> display a sympatric distribution. The closely related <i>C</i>. <i>ampullaris</i> and <i>C</i>. <i>seaeardi</i> illustrate an interesting distribution pattern with <i>C</i>. <i>ampullaris</i> in Sulawesi and <i>C</i>. <i>seaeardi</i> widespread elsewhere in South-East Asia. The estimated dating suggests that <i>C</i>. <i>ampullaris</i> and <i>C</i>. <i>seaeardi</i> diverged approximately 4 Mya (Fig. 4; Table 2). The divergence implies a recent split of these populations and landmass distributions in that geological time (Hall, 2002) suggesting that the ancestor of both species dispersed from the Sundaic region to Sulawesi west-to-east across Wallace’s Line. Sulawesi is considered to have taken its present form due to the collision of different islands <i>c</i>. 15–5 Mya (Lohman <i>et al.</i>, 2011). As the last possible connections between Borneo and Sulawesi were during the Pliocene or the Miocene (Morales & Melnick, 1998; Mercer & Roth, 2003), the colonization of Sulawesi by the common ancestor may have occurred much later after the island collision event. The ancestor of <i>C. seaeardi</i> and <i>C. ampullaris</i> may have expanded its range to western Sulawesi (eastern Sunda Shelf) during low sea-level periods and evolved into <i>C. ampullaris</i>. As the Makassar Strait is a deep trench, Borneo and Sulawesi were not connected when sea levels dropped. Their diversification resulted from ‘an inter-island dispersal combined with climatic vicariance event’ (Condamine <i>et al.</i>, 2013).</p><p><i>Crematogaster difformis</i> and <i>C</i>. <i>tanakai</i> are sympatric in Borneo, and their habitats are spatially close to each other. <i>Crematogaster difformis</i> has an obligate mutualistic relationship with <i>Lecanopteris</i> and <i>Platycerium</i> ferns in canopy trees of lowland rainforests, and <i>C</i>. <i>tanakai</i> inhabits the same nests with <i>C</i>. <i>difformis</i> (Tanaka <i>et al</i>., 2009, 2012; Tanaka & Itioka, 2011). This restricted distribution demonstrates distinct endemism and is, therefore, of conservation significance. <i>Lecanopteris</i> fern species are found in the canopies of lowland tropical rainforests. The preservation of such primary forests will lead to the conservation of the endemic species. Molecular dating indicates that <i>C</i>. <i>difformis</i> and <i>C</i>. <i>tanakai</i> diverged approximately 1 Mya (Fig. 4; Table 2). The low divergence implies a recent speciation.</p><p>As in <i>C. aurita</i>, the dispersal event and competition can explain similarly the position of <i>C</i>. <i>mucronata</i>, which is endemic to Sumatra (Fig. 4). Klaus <i>et al.</i> (2013) suggested early divergence of freshwater crabs <i>Parathelphusa</i> and subsequent appearance on Sumatra, since much of Sumatra was still submerged during the Late Miocene. In contrast, the ancestor of <i>C. mucronata</i> already appeared on fragmented Sumatra during the Late Miocene. Freshwater crabs require more land area for their habitats, but ants presumably do not require large areas as Yamane (2013) listed 126 ant species having colonized Krakatau Island after eruption. Faunal and genetic similarities between the Malay Peninsula and Sumatran populations have been documented for several taxa (Gorog <i>et al.</i>, 2004; Lohman <i>et al.</i>, 2011; Leonard <i>et al.</i>, 2015), as the two areas were connected at sea level 20–30 m below the present level (Voris, 2000).</p>
