Number: 504, Pages: 1 - 25

Fifty-eight species in 18 genera from Wallacea are reviewed. Yama­netilla Lelej, Krombeinidia Lelej, and Mickelomyrme palawanensis (Mickel, 1934) are new to Wallacea; five new species are described from Lombok: Bischoffitilla mickeli sp. n. ♂; Smicromyrme brothersi sp. n., ♀; K. mokrousovi sp. n., ♀; K. wallacei sp. n., ♀; Promecidia lombok sp. n., ♂; and one from Sulawesi: Y. yamanei sp. n., ♂ ♀. A new synonymy is proposed for Smicromyrme minahassae (Zavattari, 1914) =S. electra Mickel, 1935, syn. n.; Neotrogaspidia menadoensis (Mickel, 1935), stat. n. et comb. n. =Timulla (Trogaspidia) implicata Mickel, 1935, syn. n.; Promecidia thoracica (Smith, 1860), comb. n. =Mutilla bonthainensis André, 1896, syn. n.; Protrogaspidia neglecta (Smith, 1860), comb. n. =M. celebensis André, 1905, syn. n. Full taxonomic status is proposed for Trogaspidia rubiginosa (André, 1896), stat. n. and T. melanesia (Mickel, 1935), stat. n. Keys are given for the Wallacean species of Mickelomyrme, Krombeinidia and Neotrogaspidia. Eleven species in eight genera are recorded from the island of Lombok.
