Abstract

We describe, Gnamptogenys rugimala n. sp, a very distinct new species of the ectatommine genus Gnamptogenys, from specimens collected in forests of southeastern Brazil. We provide some data about G. rugimala n. sp occurrence and ecology as well as a species identification key for the mordax subgroup.
