Abstract

Romblonella coryae sp. n. is described from Palawan Island. It is the second species known from the province of Palawan, Philippines. Romblonella coryae differs from R. opaca (F. Smith, 1861) (=R. grandinodis Wheeler 1935) in possessing the following characters: a longitudinally costulate first gastral tergite; a subrectangular head (with CI not exceeding 90); compound eyes located at midlength of head; a narrow median clypeus, only as wide as frontal lobe; and a strikingly bi-colored mesosoma. The worker caste of R. grandinodis is remeasured and rediagnosed and a lectotype and paralectotypes are designated. A key to the two species, a distribution map, and a short discussion are provided.
