Abstract

The ant genus Pseudolasius in the Afrotropical region is reviewed. Two species are considered valid, P. bufonus and P. weissi, and diagnostic morphological characters are provided for each. Scanning electron micrographs are provided for each species, and the male genitalia of P. bufonus are illustrated for the first time. Four species are synomized with P. weissi: P. bayonii new synonym, P. bucculentus new synonym, P. gowdeyi new synonym, and P. weissi sordidus new synonym.
