Abstract

Leptogenys breviloba sp. n., L. curva sp. n., L. itoi sp. n., L. kanaoi sp. n., L. malayana sp. n., and L. modiglianii Emery, 1900 are described from southeast Asia. The Leptogenys modiglianii species group is proposed on the basis of similarities among the six species. An identification key to species in this group from southeast Asia is provided.
