03896A08FFF4FFEDF9E21DFCFA67F91D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Concerning the antennal segmentation of the worker of B. zwaluwenburgi, Onoyama (1999) wrote, “ the antennae of the paratype are 11 - segmented, although in the Williams’ (1946) illustration the holotype has 12 - segmented antennae (the present holotype bears no head) ”. The key to Vietnamese genera of the subfamily Amblyoponinae based on the worker caste given in Eguchi (2014) needs to be partly modified as below. 4 A few apical segments of antenna distinctly flattened (Figs. 19, 20) ..................................... Myopopone - All of antennal segments terete, not flattened (Figs. 21, 22) .................................................... 5 5 Middle to basal part of inner margin of mandible with triangular teeth arranged in two rows, or with more or less bifid teeth arranged in a single row ...................................................................... Stigmatomma - Middle to basal part of inner margin of mandible with 2 – 5 blunt or truncate teeth arranged in a single row .......

03896A08FFF1FFE7F9E21836FABDFE9C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The worker of B. zwaluwenburgi is easily distinguished from that of B. cryptica by: (1) frontal carinae inconspicuous, extending by no more than the length of frontal lobe; (2) antennal segments VIII – X each shorter than long; (3) posterolateral part of propodeum feebly produced posteriad. Williams (1946) described and placed this species under the subgenus Fulakora of the genus Stigmatomma. “ Fulakora ” was established by Mann (1919) for Stigmatomma celata Mann, 1919 (the type species), S. armigerum (Mayr, 1887), S. saundersi (Forel, 1892) and S. minutum Forel, 1913, and later synonymized with Stigmatomma by Brown 1949 and then with Amblyopone by Brown (1960). According to the original description of S. celata, and type images of S. armigerum (CASENT 0915647 at AntWeb), S. minutum (CASENT 0102516 and CASENT 0104570 at AntWeb) and S. saundersi (CASENT 0102518 at AntWeb), the inner margin of mandible has triangular teeth arranged in two rows, or at least a part of the inner margin of mandible has more or less bifid teeth in the worker of these species. Thus, these species do not belong to Bannapone. An examination of the holotype and nontype images of B. zwaluwenburgi (CASENT 0249113, CASENT 0173925 and CASENT 0187702 at AntWeb) has revealed that the mesosoma of CASENT 0173925 in dorsal view is distinctly wider and shorter than that of the other specimens. To determine whether CASENT 0173925 is an independent species or an ergatoid of B. zwaluwenburgi, colony series are needed.	en	Eguchi, Katsuyuki, Viet, Bui Tuan, Yamane, Seiki, Terayama, Mamoru (2015): Redefinition of the genus Bannapone and description of B. cryptica sp. nov.
