Description
Summary:Genus Ponera Latreille, 1804 Ponera Latreille, 1804:178. Type-species: Formica coarctata Latreille, 1802b. This genus was radically revised by Taylor (1967) who showed that Ponera is distinguished from the otherwise similar Hypoponera by the consistent presence of subpetiolar tooth-like ornamentation as well as the two segmented maxillary palps. It includes about 30 small hypogoeic species mainly distributed in the Indo-Australian region but with representatives throughout the north temperate zone of which one only occurs in North Europe. : Published as part of Collingwood, C.
