(Fig 44)

Basiceros onorei Baroni Urbani & De Andrade 2007: 133, fig. 47. Holotype worker: Ecuador, Tungurahua: Banos de Agua Santa, 01°24'S 78°25'W, 1860 m, sendero Bella Vista, leaf-litter, 26 Aug 2004 (C. Baroni Urbani & M. L. De Andrade) [PUCE] (not examined).

Geographic range. Ecuador.

Comments. This species is known only from the holotype. From the description, it appears to be a version of O. iheringi . It shares with O. iheringi the structure of the propodeal spines, the longitudinal trough on the mesosomal dorsum, and the general habitus (based on the description and the figures in the original publication). It differs in having erect setae on the mesosoma and first gastral tergite, and the first gastral tergite is smooth and shining.
