Main Article Content
A new ant species, Carebara coqueta sp.nov. from Colombia, is described, based on the soldier and worker castes. Carebara semistriata Fernández is considered a junior synonym of Carebara reina Fernández (syn. n.). Carebara guineana is proposed as a new name for Oligomyrmex silvestrii Santschi, 1914.
