Subsequent examination of the bakeri holotype has shown the Philippine specimen to be representative of a new species, which is described below, along with diagnostic notes on the bakeri type. Three species of Simopone are now known from the Indo-Australian area. All are represented only by their worker holotypes. They are similar in habitus, and constitute a compact and undoubtedly closely related complex within this predominantly African cerapachyine genus. The generic diagnosis presented earlier (Taylor, loc. cit.) needs no modification at this point.10aIndo-Australian10aSimopone1 aTaylor, R., W.  uhttps://singaporeants.myspecies.info/node/851
