03C68546170AE979B7F2FDC0FE443238.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Cryptopone testacea Emery, 1893: cclxxv; by monotypy. The phylogenetic results necessitate the revalidation of the genus Wadeura and consequent removal of the species W. guianensis revived combination, W. holmgreni new combination, and W. pauli new combination from Cryptopone. The shared characters of Cryptopone and Wadeura workers, as outlined by Schmidt and Shattuck 2014, are “ frontal lobes small and closely approximated, scapes flattened, eyes vestigial to absent, propodeum with a distinct dorsal face which widens posteriorly, metabasitarsus with simple setae but lacking spiniform or peg-like traction setae, and mesotibiae with stout traction setae (sometimes small and reduced to a few, but always present). ” Schmidt and Shattuck observed that most Cryptopone have a fovea or pit at the base of the mandible, with the exception of the Wadeura - like species. With the separation of Wadeura, the presence of a mandibular pit is apparently now universal in Cryptopone. In Cryptopone gilva and relatives, the anterior face of abdominal sternite III has a pair of gibbosities ventral to the helcium, so that the helcium is “ high ” on the segment (Fig. 7 A and B). These gibbosities are present on C. ochracea and C. butteli, species that we have been able to examine directly. Other Cryptopone species with images on AntWeb, including the type species C. testacea, show similar structure when the anterior face of abdominal sternite III is visible. This character may now be universal in Cryptopone. In Wadeura, there are no gibbosities and abdominal sternite III shallowly curves to the ventral rim of the helcium, so that the helcium is “ low ” on the abdominal segment (Fig. 7 C and D). Although males are not treated here, there are substantial differences between the males of Cryptopone and Wadeura (B. Boudinot, pers. com.).	en	Branstetter, Michael G., Longino, John T.

There is a single subsaharan species, C. hartwigi Arnold from South Africa. Although it has Cryptopone characters and habitus, Borowiec et al. (2019) and our phylogenetic results show it is in a clade of African ants separate from the rest of the genus. Our results show that it is sister to the African genus Fisheropone, to which we transfer it, as F. hartwigi new combination. Finally, Cryptopone mirabilis (Mackay & Mackay 2010) is shown to be a junior synonym of Centromyrmex brachycola. With the removal of Wadeura, F. hartwigi, and the misplaced C. mirabilis, the genus Cryptopone is a more morphologically uniform set of species. This revised concept of Cryptopone has highest diversity in Asian and Indo-Malayan regions, with a few species extending into Palearctic and Nearctic regions. The Nearctic clade extends as far south as Costa Rica. Cryptopone is not present in South America. We recognize four species of true Cryptopone in the Americas: C. gilva, C. gilvagrande sp. nov., C. gilvatumida sp. nov., and C. guatemalensis rev. stat.	en	Branstetter, Michael G., Longino, John T.

Wadeura now contains four species: W. guianensis, W. holmgreni, W. holmgrenita sp. nov., and W. pauli. Phylogenetic information is available for three of the four known species, with W. pauli being sister to W. holmgrenita and W. guianensis. Wadeura holmgreni is very similar to W. holmgrenita and the two are likely sister species.	en	Branstetter, Michael G., Longino, John T.

03C685461715E964B7F2F958FB2D341B.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species is by far the largest in the genus. It is now known from six specimens: the holotype and three paratypes from Rondônia, the sequenced specimen from Guyana, and a specimen from Rio Trombetas, Pará, Brazil (imaged specimen ANTWEB 1041391 on AntWeb). The sequenced specimen has a tiny compound eye, raising the possibility that it is an ergatoid queen. Wadeura holgreni and W. holmgrenita have both completely eyeless workers and worker-like individuals with tiny compound eyes. The latter are potentially ergatoid queens.	en	Branstetter, Michael G., Longino, John T.

03C685461712E963B7F2FF36FDC932C1.taxon	discussion	Comments. Kempf (1967) reviewed the Neotropical Centromyrmex. Under C. brachycola he discussed a series from Bolivia, Rosario on Lake Rocagua, collected by Mann. Kempf referred to Mann’s account of finding this colony in a termite mound (Mann 1934: 189). Parts of this series are in multiple collections, including LACM. Mackay and Mackay observed specimens of this series at LACM and mistakenly described it as the new species Pachycondyla mirabilis, close to W. gilva and W. holmgreni.	en	Branstetter, Michael G., Longino, John T.
