Abstract: Using morphometric method to measure 8 morphological characteristics of 84 individuals of F. candida and 140 individuals of F. gagatoides, which are very similar species in the genus Formic. The value frequency distribution, correlation, variance and principal component of the eight features of the samples are analyzed. The rusults showed that morphometric analysis method can separate the two species, provide a quantitative standard to morphological taxonomy, and offer a new method for morphological taxonomy.

Key words: Formicidae, Formica, morphologic measurement, morphometric analysis
