Pyramica serket Bolton HNS sp. n.
HOLOTYPE WORKER. TL 2.7, HL 0.66, HW 0.46, CI 70, ML 0.10, MI 15, SL 0.31, SI 67, PW 0.30, AL 0.76. Characters of hoplites-complex; very similar to hoplites HNS but considerably smaller (compare measurements), mostly matching the description of that species but differing as follows.
1 Dorsum of petiole node in profile is longer and more convex from anterodorsal angle to posterior collar in serket HNS than in hoplites HNS .
2 With petiole in profile the lateral spongiform lobe extends forward to the level of, or slightly in front of the level of, the anterior face of the node in serket HNS . In hoplites HNS the spongiform lobe terminates behind the level of the node's anterior face.
3 In dorsal view the petiolar lateral spongiform lobes terminate at the level of the spiracles in serket HNS ; distinctly behind this level in hoplites HNS .
4 Length of petiole node in dorsal view, from anterior margin to start of the posterior collar, is longer than the postpetiole disc in serket HNS , shorter than the disc in hoplites HNS .
PARATYPE WORKERS. TL 2.4 - 2.7, HL 0.60 - 0.66, HW 0.41 - 0.47, CI 68 - 71, ML 0.10, MI 15 - 17, SL 0.28 - 0.31, SI 64 - 68, PW 0.27 - 0.31, AL 0.68 - 0.78 (3 measured).
Paratypes. Madagascar: 2 workers, 6.3 km. S Ambanizana, Andranobe, 15 ° 41 ' S, 49 ° 57 ' E, 25 m., 14. xi. 1993, sifted litter (leaf mold, rotten wood) rainforest, # 886 (12) - 2 (B. L. Fisher); 1 worker, 5.3 km. SSE Ambanizana, Andranobe, 15 ° 40 ' S, 49 ° 58 ' E, 425 m., 21. xi. 1993, sifted litter (leaf mold, rotten wood) rainforest, # 926 (2) - 2 (B. L. Fisher) (UCD, BMNH).
NON-PARATYPIC MATERIAL EXAMINED. Madagascar: Prov. Toamasina, EC. Andriantantely (H. J. Ratsirarson); Toamasina, F. C. Sandranantitra (H. J. Ratsirarson).
