Popis: Acanthoponera Mayr Type Species Acanthoponera mucronata (Roger) Diagnosis (Females): Ants of comparatively medium size (head width 0.90���1.61, head length 1.00���1.75). Mandible triangular. Palp formula 6,4. Frontal lobe reduced, only partially covering antennal insertions. Antennal club with four antennomeres. Antennal scrobe deeply impressed. Eye well-developed, with clear limits between ommatidia. Propodeum with a pair of welldeveloped spines. Tarsal claw with conspicuous preapical teeth and a basal lobe. Petiole with a long posterodorsal projection. Anterior face of abdominal segment III with an arched carina above the helcium. Tribe Heteroponerini Bolton new combination Diagnosis: Ectatommine ants of small to medium size (head width 0.42���1.61 mm, head length 0.53���1.75 mm); cephalic dorsum with a longitudinal carina extending from anterior margin of clypeus to posterior margin of head (Bolton 2003); antennal scrobe present (Bolton 2003); eye present; acetabulum of antennal socket apparatus hemispherical (Keller 2011); accessory chamber of antennal socket absent (Keller 2011); labial palp with three or four palpomeres (Bolton 2003, Keller 2011); promesonotal suture complete and flexible (Bolton 2003); ventral flap on metapleural gland opening absent (Keller 2011); metacoxal cavity closed (Bolton 2003); petiolar sternite articulated with tergite over its entire length (Bolton 2003, Keller 2011); laterotergites of petiole present. Genera: Acanthoponera, Aulacopone, Boltonia newgenus, Heteroponera. Species: goeldii, minor, mucronata, and peruviana. Distribution: Exclusively Neotropical, from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Notes: Acanthoponera represents a lineage of arboreal and nocturnal Neotropical ants. Most species can be identified using the work of Feitosa and Prada-Achiardi (2019) for the Colombian fauna. Tribe Heteroponerini Bolton new combination Diagnosis: Ectatommine ants of small to medium size (head width 0.42���1.61 mm, head length 0.53���1.75 mm); cephalic dorsum with a longitudinal carina extending from anterior margin of clypeus to posterior margin of head (Bolton 2003); antennal scrobe present (Bolton 2003); eye present; acetabulum of antennal socket apparatus hemispherical (Keller 2011); accessory chamber of antennal socket absent (Keller 2011); labial palp with three or four palpomeres (Bolton 2003, Keller 2011); promesonotal suture complete and flexible (Bolton 2003); ventral flap on metapleural gland opening absent (Keller 2011); metacoxal cavity closed (Bolton 2003); petiolar sternite articulated with tergite over its entire length (Bolton 2003, Keller 2011); laterotergites of petiole present.
