Dr. Roger hat zur Gattung Gnamptogenys : Ponera tornata Rog . und rimulosa Rog. gestellt, wahrscheinlich gehoert auch Formica nodosa Ltr. hierher.
Die Diagnose dieser Gattung in der Synopsis generum im NovaraWerke habe ich nach G. tornata , von welcher ich ein typisches Exemplar besitze, entworfen; da nun oben beschriebene Art, welche ich auch zu dieser Gattung stellen muss, manche Eigentuemlichkeiten zeigt, so lasse ich hier eine vollstaendigere Gattungsdiagnose folgen:
