3E02C59954273D2F928FAAA8199F2B94.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Proceratium silisili differs from the other Oceanian members of Proceratium by the following combination of characters: mandible with 4 distinct teeth; petiole node in dorsal face-view subrectangular, almost as long as wide (DPeI 128); abdominal segment IV in profile view strongly recurved (IGR 0.25), highly rounded and almost spherical in its appearance; whole body very densely punctate, except for small smooth and shiny spot posterior of frontal lobes; pilosity dense, uniformly short and decumbent, long and erect or suberect hairs completely absent. Using the above character combination, P. silisili can also be distinguished easily from its geographically closest congeners in Fiji. Proceratium oceanicum, P. relictum and P. vinaka all have elongate-triangular mandibles with relatively long masticatory margins and more than six teeth or denticles, petiole in profile either squamiform or narrow, transversally compressed subrectangular, abdominal segment IV not strongly recurved (IGR> 0.45), and long standing hairs present.	en	Liu, Cong, Fischer, Georg, Economo, Evan P.
