Abstract

Formicidae Hymenoptera
Technomyrmex briani n. sp. is described and illustrated from Saudi Arabia based on the worker caste collected in Wadi Abha. It belongs to the Technomyrmex albipes-group and most closely resembles T. setosus Collingwood, 1985. It is distinguished from the latter species by the relatively posteriorly located eyes, the deep metanotal groove, the bare first gastral tergite and the few pairs of setae on the second, third and fourth gastral tergites.
