Abstract

Technomyrmex montaseri sp. n. is described and illustrated from Oman based on the worker caste collected in Bani Sur. It belongs to the Technomyrmex gibbosus-group, with closest resemblance to T. vexatus (Santschi, 1919) and T. gibbosus W. M. Wheeler, 1906. A key to the Arabian Technomyrmex is given.
