Head elongated head (CI less than 79, Fig. 19), antennal scape very elongated (SI greater than 220, Fig. 20) and extending beyond the vertex of the head by 2/3 their length. Palps very long. Anterior mesonotum with a weak "bump". Pilosity short adpressed hairs.  Worker description. In full face view vertex of head convex, rounding into sides of head, sides of head weakly rounded, widest at mid-length, eyes placed at mid-length of head capsule. Palps long extending to posterior of head capsule or just beyond. Pronotum above level of promesonotal suture, posterior margin of pronotum rounding sharply to the suture; anterior portion of the mesonotum initially in same plane as pronotumthen rounding sharply into descending plane of remainder of mesonotum (Fig. 8) producing a weakly raised anterior mesonotal "bump". Legs long; hind tibial spurs with reduced barbules, barbules absent from basal 1/4. Dark brown in colour.  FIGURES 7-12. Leptomyrmex dolichoscapus sp. n.holotype worker.

Wo r k e r (n = 3) - CI 63-66; EL 0.20-0.22; HL 0.92-0.95; HW 0.58-0.63; MTL 0.98-1.04; SI 230-239; SL 1.37-1.44; WL 1.48-1.64.  Comments. This species is known from only a single locality. It occurs in rainforest and is sympatric with L. garrettifrom which it is readily distinguished from by its extremely long scapes. Given that L. garrettiis also found at lower altitudes in the area it would be interesting to examine samples from along the ranges to determine whether this species is restricted to higher altitudes within in the wet tropics. 923890613 20 Nov 2005, day, hand collect CU, QMBA Australia -16.56 Mary Creek site 1 145.275 QMBA T 143382 Holotype 923890614 QMBA Australia QMBA T 143384, T 143385 paratype
