Paglianotilla hogenesi
Lelej
in

, by original designation.
Diagnosis
. MALE. Head rounded behind the eyes. Mandible tridentate, not excised beneath, second preapical tooth enlarge. Clypeus rather flattened. Ocelli small, POD much less than OOD. Scape strongly bicarinate beneath, space between carinae punctate. Flagellomeres shortened, each flagellomere above has apical projection overlapping base of next flagellomere, F1 at least 2.0 × shorter than F2. Pronotum posteriorly angulate medially. Notauli and parapsids well developed. Tegula slightly projecting over mesoscuto-scutellar suture. Parascutal carina weak. Scutellum simple. Mesopleuron without precoxal ridge. Propodeum not shortened. Metacoxa mesally carinate. Wing well developed with three radio-medial and two discoidal cells, more or less infuscated, stigmatic cell much less than distance between base of stigmatic cell and origin of
RS
on vein
Sc
. T2 with long lateral felt lines, S2 without any trace of felt lines. T7 punctured throughout. Hypopygium (S8) posteriorly weakly biemarginated. Volsellar cuspis wide with narrow curved apical part. Penial valves short, their apex curved back and oriented outside. FEMALE. Unknown.
Diversity and distribution
. One species, based on the male sex only, is recognized from
Yemen
, but an undescribed species has been examined from
South Africa
(
Lelej & van Harten, 2006
).
Remarks
. The antennal flagellomeres are superficially similar to those of
Antennotilla
, but the genitalia and other features are not similar.
Paglianotilla
and
Indratilla
are apparently the only
Smicromyrmini
to have a distinct mesal white setal patch on T
2 in
the male sex (
Fig. 50
).
