Abstract

The southern African ant genus Streblognathus has long been regarded as being monotypic but a morphological reappraisal of available specimens shows that there are two species: Streblognathus aethiopicus (F. Smith), which occurs in the southern karoo of the Eastern Cape, and Streblognathus peetersi sp. nov., which occurs in the eastern grasslands of southern Africa. Workers and males are described and keyed. Male genitalia are illustrated and the significance of the large barbs on the penis valves is discussed.
