Four new species are described (ankistra, catocha, demeta, macta) and tentative

associations of workers with sexual forms are made where possible. Nine named species are recognized in the genus. The species oculatus (Smith), originally described in Cerapachys

(Ponerinae) is transferred into Paratopula, as is andamanensis (Forel), originally described in Tetraponera ( = Sima) (Pseudomyrmecinae ). Keys are presented for the

workers and known males and the history and affinities of the genus are discussed.}, keywords = {Formicidae, Myrmicinae, Paratopula}, author = {Bolton, B.} } @article {786, title = {Secostruma, a new subterranean tetramoriine ant genus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)}, volume = {13}, year = {1988}, note = {Owner: AdminNUSAdded to JabRef: 2013.06.08}, month = {1988}, pages = {263 - 270}, abstract = {Secostrurna, a very specialized new subterranean ant recovered from a soil-core sample taken in Sabah, East Malaysia, is described for the first time.
