Treatment

Bannapone caliginosa ( Onoyama, 1999) , comb. nov.

Amblyopone caliginosa Onoyama, 1999: 158 . Combination in Stigmatomma: Yoshimura & Fisher, 2012: 19 .

Holotype: worker, Japan: Kanagawa: Cape Manazuru, 13/xii/1981, K. Masuko leg., Type No. OMNH TI 102, OMNH, not examined. Paratypes: 1 female and 4 workers, same data as the holotype, not examined; 1 worker, Japan: Kanagawa: Cape Manazuru, 19/ix/1982, K. Masuko leg., not examined.

Non-type material examined. Japan: Chiba: Kamogawa, 1 queen [viii/2001]; Kanagawa: Cape Manazuru, 1 worker [K. Masuko leg.], 1 worker [K. Masuko leg., 19/ix/1982]; Ishikawa: Kanazawa: Kakuma, 1 worker [S. Iwanishi leg., 23/ix/2007].

Remarks. The worker and queen of B. caliginosa is easily distinguished from those of B. cryptica by: (1) anteromedian portion of clypeus lacking a pair of extremely long and flexible setae; (2) frontal carinae inconspicuous, extending by no more than the length of frontal lobe; (3) posterolateral part of propodeum feebly produced posteriad. Furthermore, the worker of B. caliginosa is distinguished from that of B. cryptica by the 9th and 10th antennal segments each (a little) shorter than long.
