1. Hypoponera ragusai (Emery) .

(*) (35, w). A nest with 13 workers was recovered in the humid spot under a stone, a few meters from the sea, during the 1989 visit. No nest was found in 2003. The morphology matches the drawings of the mesosoma profile of H. ragusai var. santschii Emery (Emery, 1909, without a mesopropodeal depression, although the petiole is more akin to the petiole of H. ragusai . The whole genus is in need of revision.
