03FB87D43C19FFC7FE9CF6B44FC2FD74.taxon	discussion	Discussions This very interesting new genus has the combination characters of Dolichoderinae and Forrnicinae. The body structure and shape of alitrunk are very similar to Hypoclinea of Dolichoderinae. However, the round cloacal openning and clypeus shape indicate that it shoud be referred to Formicinae.	en	Wu Jian, Wang Changlu (1994): A New Genus of Ants from Yunnan, China (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Formicinae).
