[ES] En el presente trabajo se redescribe y se designa un neotipo para Aphaenogaster striativentris Forel, 1895, especie conocida tan sólo del Sur de la Península Ibérica. Esta especie se caracteriza fundamentalmente por ser muy polimorfa, apareciendo obreras con una morfología cefálica que las asemeja al género Messor Forel, 1890. Se hace un análisis biométrico que permite, junto con el estudio de la morfología del aparato genital masculino, incluirla sin ninguna duda dentro del género Aphaenogaster Mayr, 1853. Además se indica, como razón para la existencia de esas obreras con la cabeza muy desarrollada, la utilización de semillas como parte de su dieta alimenticia.
[EN] This paper re-describes and designates a neotype for Aphaenogaster striativentris Forel, 1895 a species found only in the South of the Iberian Peninsula. This species is characterized by its polymorphism and by the worker's cephalic morphology which resembles that of the genus Messor Forel, 1890. A biometric analysis, along with the study of the male genital apparatus, allows it to be included within the genus Aphaenogaster Mayr, 1853. Furthermore, this study suggests that the more developed head in the worker may have resulted from seeds in its diet.
