A new species of Simopelta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Ponerinae) from Brazil and Costa Rica
The genus Simopelta consists of 21 described species restricted to Central America and South America. The present study describes a new cryptobiotic species, Simopelta anomma sp. nov.. The new species is blind, possesses a 3-segmented antennal club, and has the midtibia with several stout setae, a c...
