Abstract

Three species of the myrmicine ant genus Dilobocondyla are recognized in China: D. gaoyureni, D. fouqueti and D. rufida sp. nov. The new species is described based on the worker and the gyne castes, and can be distinguished from the others by the relatively shorter petiole and the obvious bicolored body. A revised key to the known species of the world based on worker caste is presented.
