Character numbers correspond to characters used in genus diagnosis (see genus diagnosis and "Comments on worker characters" for character definition): 2 Mandibles, dentition: (0) edentate, (1) dentate. 3.1 Mandibles, basolateral pit: (0) absent; (1) present (as in Fig. 45A, B). 3.2 Mandibles, dorsal pit: (0) absent; (1) present (as in Fig. 45C). 3.3 Mandibles, dorsolateral sulcus: (0) absent; (1) present (as in Fig. 45D). 4 Clypeus, anteroventral face: (0) absent; (1) present (avf, Fig. 39A-D). 11 Palpal formula: number of maxillary palps, number of labial palps. 15 Mesopleuron, division into anepisternum and katepisternum: (0) absent, (1) present. 22 Propodeal spiracle, shape: (0) slit-shaped, (1) round to oval. 29 Metatibia, apparent metatibial gland cuticular patch: (0) absent; (1) present (as in Fig. 41E). 30 Metatibia, number of well-developed spurs (i.e., number of spurs seen under a stereomicroscope). 33 Pretarsal claws, shape: (0) simple (as in Fig. 48B, C); (1) basal tooth (as in Figs 12B, 48D); (2) pre-apical tooth (as in Fig. 48E). 39 Petiolar poststernite, posterior spatulate projection: (0) absent; (1) present (as in Fig. 49A-G). 41 Abdominal poststernite III, prora: (1) present and conspicuous; (2) present (Fig. 49L), but indistinct in the profile of undissected specimens. 44 Abdominal pretergite IV, stridulitrum: (0) absent, (1) present. 46 Abdominal sternite VII (hypopygium), ventral face: (0) convex or flat; (1) distinctively concave longitudinally (Fig. 44). 47 Abdominal sternite VII (hypopygium), stout, spine-like setae on posterolateral portion: (0) absent, (1) present. Superscripts: a Absent in species from Borneo, Bali, Krakatau, and Sumatra (Yamane 2007). b Present in Mesoponera subiridescens. c The palpal formula is 4,4 in all species in which the character was assessed save Mesoponera ambigua, whose formula is 3,3. According to Fisher and Bolton (2016), Afrotropical and Malagasy species may present palpal formula 3,3; 4,3; 4,4. d Present in Mayaponera conicula. e Present in Mesoponera subiridescens and very shallowly impressed in some M. melanaria macra specimens and Indomalayan and Australasian species. f Oval to slit-shaped in Brachyponera sennaarensis among species examined; slit-shaped in images of B. sennaarensis subspecies on AntWeb.org. According to Schmidt and Shattuck (2014: 79), the character is round in all other species. g Slit-shaped in Mesoponera caffraria and subspecies, M. ingesta, and M. subiridescens. h Among species examined (N = 6), the character is absent only in Brachyponera chinensis. It is visible in images of B. Brachyponera arcuata, B. atrata, and B. sennaarensis ruginota on AntWeb.org. i Among species examined (N = 8), the character is present only in Mesoponera caffraria; it is visible in images of specimens identified as M. ingesta on AntWeb.org. j Among species examined (N = 6), the stridulitrum is absent only in Brachyponera sennaarensis, but see Schmidt and Shattuck (2014: 79). k Present in Mayaponera constricta. l Among species examined (N = 8), the stridulitrum is only absent in Mesoponera ambigua. The character was not assessed in M. elisae rotundata; it is unclear in M. caffraria; but see Schmidt and Shattuck (2014: 109). m Among species examined (N = 8), the character is only present in Brachyponera becculata. n Among material examined, the character is absent in the Afrotropical species.
