| Abstract: | I recently discussed a Philippine specimen of Simopone which was tentatively identified as S. bakeri Menozzi (Taylor, 1965: 6). 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. |
