Abstract:

A new species of the myrmicine ant genus Recurvidris BOLTON 1992 is described from Negros Island, the Philippines. Recurvidris nigrans nov.sp. belongs to

the R. kemneri species group and can be easily distinguished from all congeners by its dark body colour. Recurvidris nigrans nov.sp. is the first species record of Recurvidris from

the Philippines, but a second unnamed species of the genus has been reported from southern Luzon in the world wide web.
