Genus Ponera View in CoL   HNS Latreille, 1804

Ponera   HNS Latreille, 1804:178.

Type-species: Formica coarctata Latreille   HNS , 1802b.

This genus was radically revised by Taylor (1967) who showed that Ponera   HNS is distinguished from the otherwise similar Hypoponera   HNS by the consistent presence of subpetiolar tooth-like ornamentation as well as the two segmented maxillary palps. It includes about 30 small hypogoeic species mainly distributed in the Indo-Australian region but with representatives throughout the north temperate zone of which one only occurs in North Europe.
