worker and gyne frontal carinae thick Undoubted autapomorphy of (not lamelliform) in profile Table summarizes the main characters distinguishing Proceratium, Discothyrea and Bradoponera For the genus Bradoponera we propose the following detailed diagnosis and description: ^Bradoponera Mayr Worker Monomorphic and variable in size little Head subglobose, slightly longer than bread, with sides convex or diverging posteriorly Clypeus medially armed with a slightly developed anterior projection, convex in shape Frontal carinae separate from each other with narrow, thick lateral expansions diverging backwards Lateral expansions of the frontal carinae only partially covering the antennal insertions Genal carina absent or superficially marked posteriorly only and delimiting a shallow sulcus Gular area not impressed Eyes small, ommatidia with ocular salient pilosity, or large, and represented by few inconspicuous flat convex and composed by an agglomeration of ommatidia, generally with ocular pilosity and approximately over the mid line of the head Antennal insertions at the same level of the anterior margin of the head Antennae or 12-jointed Scapes shorter than the vertexal margin, gently incrassate apically First funicular joint about as long as broad or slightly longer than broad Second funicular joint broader than long or about as long as broad Joints 3-7 or 3-10 broader than longer Last funicular joint about as long as the slightly shorter than the sum sum of joints 3-10 or of joints 2-7 Mandibles subtriangular Basal margin of the mandibles gently convex distally, with a pointed apical tooth Masticatory margin edentate Palp formula 5,4 Second maxillary palp joint apparently not hammer-shaped Mesosoma short and robust, superficially impressed (see not its dorsum gently convex Promesonotal e g fig 3) suture Propodeal suture superficially impressed or Promesopleural and meso-metapleural sutures more impressed ventrally Pro- podeum unarmed, Area between the basal and propodeum weakly concave medially Sides of the declivous face of the propodeum with a variably marked margin Propodeal lobes gently convex Propodeal spiracle round and placed at mid height in profile Petiole in side view with or with a pair of small subround teeth declivous faces of the cuneiform apex, or scale-like Ventral petiolar process subround Postpetiole (abdo- minal segment anteriorly broader than the petiole Postpetiole in dorsal III) antero-laterally with variably convex sides Postpetiolar sterni te antero-medially marked subtriangular margin Constriction between postpetiole and impressed Gastral tergum gastral sternite I I gastral view with a segment I convex, continuously curved dorso ventrally Sides of the projecting or not anteriorly curved ventrally Sting developed Legs little Remaining gastral tergites and sternites elongate with slightly incrassate Tibiae of fore and hind legs with a large, pectinate spur nate spur Spurs of fore legs without basal spine Mid Mid tibiae tibiae with a small pecti- basitarsi shorter than the fore Second tarsomere of the three pairs of legs about as long as or slightly longer than each third and fourth tarsomeres Pretarsal claws simple Arolia strongly developed ones THE BALTIC AMBER ANT GENUS BRADOPONERA 931 Head, mesosoma, petiole and postpetiole punctate-granulate or variably punctate-foveolate Gastral tergum I superficially punctate and with traces of small foveae or super- Legs punctate ficially granulate Body covered by short, appressed hairs with or without additional, short, sparse, suberect and subdecumbent hairs Colour apparently dark brown Gyne Similar to the worker and differing from li and by the stouter mesosoma with wing only by the presence of ocel- it sclerites Wings unknown Male unknown Species Descriptions Bradoponera wunderlichi Baroni Urbani & de Andrade Figs sp n Type material: holotype, unique, dealate gyne in Baltic amber, labelled: BB-1, 1, in the MRSN Derivano nominis: this species is important Baltic amber samples to study Diagnosis named after Dr J Wunderlich who sent us several A Bradoponera species, known from the gyne only, similar to meieri but differing from it, by the antennae segmented instead of 12 segmented, by the its smaller size (TL = 2.53 instead mm integumental sculpture more superficial and by of TL = 3.25 mm) Gyne Head slightly longer than broad with the sides diverging posteriorly Vertex convex Frontal carinae stout, partially covering the antennal insertions Lateral expansions of the frontal carinae narrow, very thick, diverging anteriorly and gently convex posteriorly Frontal carinae dorso-medially with a superficial sulcus starting from a small, subround anterior denticle and reaching the median ocellus posteriorly Clypeus strongly convex, protruding anteriorly, slightly narrower than the frontal carinae anteriorly and clearly separated from them by a superficial suture Antennal sockets about as long as the antero-lateral clypeal margin Scapes stout, surpassing the posterior border of the eyes First and second funicular joints subequal in size, about as long as broad Joints 3-7 broader than long Last funicular joint slightly shorter than the sum of joints 2-7 Eyes available Mandibles longer than slightly excluded) Interocellar pilosity, if 1/5 of the head length (mandibles present, indistinguishable in the sole triangular, edentate specimen and dorsally convex Mesosoma robust, about as long as the head (mandibles included) Mesonotum and scutellum gently convex Propodeum with distinct basal and declivous faces Basal face short, weakly depressed medially Sides between the basal and declivous faces with a stout angle Declivous face flat Propodeal lobes subround Petiole twice broader than long, with the apex of the node angled in profile Anterior face truncate to gently declivous anteriorly in side view Petiolar sides subparallel Ventral process long as the first of the petiole subround and developed Postpetiole about as gastric tergite Anterior face of the postpetiole gently concave and about as high as the apex of the petiolar node First gastral tergite gently curved ventrally First gastral Remaining sternite triangular in lateral gastral tergites and sternites view and very narrow medially curved ventrally M 932 L DE ANDRADE & C BARONI URBANI -h— C 00000 —
