Wadeura pauli Fernandes & Delabie (New Combination)
(Figs. 13,14)
Cryptopone pauli Fernandes & Delabie, 2019:409 View Cited Treatment . Holotype worker: Brazil, Rondônia, Floresta Nacional do Jamari (Flona Jamari), 63°01’24“W 9°09’40”S, Serra da Onça GoogleMaps , 29.v.2018, in soil sample (D.C. Castro) [INPA] (not examined).
Sequenced specimen: Guyana, Potaro-Siparuni: 8km WNW Chenapau, 5.00851 −59.64133 ± 20 m, 510 m, 13 Oct 2015, premontane rainforest, ex sifted leaf litter (M. G. Branstetter #MGB2118).
Measurements. Worker HW 1.41 (holotype), 1.46 (sequenced specimen).
Comments. This species is by far the largest in the genus. It is now known from six specimens: the holotype and three paratypes from Rondônia, the sequenced specimen from Guyana, and a specimen from Rio Trombetas, Pará, Brazil (imaged specimen ANTWEB1041391 on AntWeb). The sequenced specimen has a tiny compound eye, raising the possibility that it is an ergatoid queen. Wadeura holgreni and W. holmgrenita have both completely eyeless workers and worker-like individuals with tiny compound eyes. The latter are potentially ergatoid queens.
Fisheropone hartwigi (Arnold) New Combination Cryptopone hartwigi Arnold, 1948:213 View in CoL , figs. 2, 2a, 2b. Syntype worker: South Africa, Pretoria (E.K. Hartwig) [SAMC] (not examined). Combination in Hypoponera: Taylor, 1967:12 View in CoL . Combination in Cryptopone View in CoL , status as species: Bolton, 1995: 166.
Comments. This species is transferred based on molecular evidence and no attempt is made to provide morphological evidence or to revise the diagnosis of the genus Fisheropone . The transfer serves mainly to exclude the species from Cryptopone .
