Abstract

We describe a new species, Tapinoma yacoubi sp. n., from the Al Sarawat Mountains in southwestern Saudi Arabia based on the worker caste. Tapinoma yacoubi looks similar to T. luridum Emery, 1908 from the Democratic Republic of Congo, but can be easily distinguished by its lack of setae on the frontal carinae, the convex posterior margin of the clypeus, the single pair of black based setae on the anterior clypeal margin, and the unsculptured body surface. We present an identification key to the Arabian Tapinoma based on the worker caste. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:677ADF36-E8F1-4B2C-BFF2-306FFC94CB39

沙特阿拉伯一新种蚁(膜翅目:蚁科)

我们描述了一个新物种，Tapinoma yacoubi sp.n，来自沙特阿拉伯西南部的Al Sarawat山脉，以工人种姓为基础。yacoubi Tapinoma看起来与1908年来自刚果民主共和国的T.luridum Emery相似，但可以很容易地通过其额隆突上缺乏刚毛、灌肠后边缘凸起、灌肠前边缘上的一对黑色刚毛和未开膛的体表来区分。我们提供了一个基于工人种姓的阿拉伯Tapinoma的识别密钥。http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:677ADF36-E8F1-4B2C-BFF2-306FFC94CB39
