Based on its morphology, <i>Ponera wui</i> is most similar to <i>P</i>. <i>alisana</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>japonica</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>scabra</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>diodonta</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>chapmani</i> and <i>P</i>. <i>oreas</i>. However, <i>P</i>. <i>wui</i> is distinct by the absence of a metanotal groove (strongly distinct in <i>P</i>. <i>alisana</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>japonica</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>chapmani</i> and <i>P</i>. <i>oreas</i>) and its thick petiolar node when observed in dorsal view (thin in <i>P</i>. <i>diodonta</i>). Also <i>Ponera wui</i> can be distinguished from <i>P</i>. <i>scabra</i> by its indistinctly incised mesopleural suture (Fig. 65B) and relatively thin petiolar node in lateral view (Fig. 65B), contrasting with the distinctly incised lateral mesopleural suture (Fig. 65A) and well thick petiolar node (Fig. 65A) of <i>P</i>. <i>scabra</i>.</p> <p> <b>Description of worker.

Posterodorsal corner in lateral view augular; propodeal dorsum and declivity forming approximatively a 130 degree angle.</p> <p> <b>Metasoma.</b> Petiolar node in dorsal view broader than long, with convex anterior margin, straight posterior margin, and broadly convex lateral margins (Fig. 68B).

Subpetiolar process with medium and oval fenestra, anteroventral corner blunt, and posteroventral corner concave with a pair of developed and acute teeth (Fig. 67D). The third abdominal tergum distinctly broader than long (ATI: 77–85) and moderately narrow anteriad, with slightly convex anterior and posterior margins, and slightly convex lateral margins.</p> <p> <b>Sculpture.</b> Head densely punctate (Fig. 67A).

    碩士本論文題目為〈擺盪於現實與虛構之間的愛情—玄小佛小說研究〉。題目中的現實與虛構指的是玄小佛小說中愛情的特點,也是玄小佛小說不同於瓊瑤小說的地方。讓本屬於虛幻浪漫的愛情摻雜了現實性的考量,也將愛情落入了生活之中,愛情的追求不再如童話一般的純粹虛幻,而是似假又似真的吸引著人們的追求。 玄小佛生於1951年的台灣基隆,是一名繼瓊瑤之後兼具產量與知名度的重要言情小說作家,她總共創作了五十餘部的小說作品,也有二十餘部的作品搬上了電視螢幕,而她的小說與瓊瑤小說有極大的差異,她挑戰傳統社會規範,創造出另一種不同於傳統風貌新的女性形象。 本篇論文主要分為兩大部分,一是內部研究,主要著重於玄小佛小說文本內部的研究,有玄小佛小説作品的分期與特色與玄小佛小說中的愛情意識;二是外部研究,主要著重於玄小佛小說外部的行銷與流行意義,試著看出玄小佛小說對於七0年代的影響與發展,也藉此來看出小說流行與社會的關連。 本篇論文的目的,除了深入分析玄小佛小說之外,同時探究言情小說在七0年代的發展,以重新評估玄小佛在台灣言情小說界的重要性。The present paper topic for in what the topic reality with fictionalizes refers to is in the Shuan Shiao Fo novel love characteristic, is also the Shuan Shiao Fo novel is different with the beautiful jade novel place. Let this belong to the unreal romantic love to dope the feasible consideration, also has fallen into love during the life, love pursue no longer like fairy tale general purely unreal, but resembled false the vraisemblance attraction people''s pursue.
