Popis:	The morphological regions and the histological structures of the alimentary canal of the queen ant, Solenopsis saevissima richteri Forel, are described and illustrated. The alimentary canal is composed of the following regions : pharynx, oesophagus, crop, proventriculus, cardiac valve, ventriculus, pylorus, 12 Malpighian tubules, pyloric valve, anterior intestine, rectal valve, and rectum with three rectal pads. The stomodeal region is composed of an internal layer of intima, cuboidal epithelium, longitudinal striated muscle and an external layer of circular striated muscle. In some regions of the stomodaeum the longitudinal muscles are not evident. The mesenteron region is composed of columnar epithelium, circular striated muscle and longitudinal striated muscle. The proctodaeal region is composed mainly of an internal layer of intima, cuboidal epithelium, circular striated muscle and an external layer of longitudinal striated muscle. Strands of longitudinal muscle occasionally are found under the circular muscle.
