(5) Ventral surface of clypeus with a transverse ridge. (6) Frontal lobes present, partly cover- ing the condylar bulbs of holding antennal scapes. (7) Frontal carinae extending to the lev- el of the posterior margins of eyes. (8) Lamella that encircles the base of antennal scape usually with a broad and deep notch on the center of the dorsal sur- face. (9) Palp formula 1,3. (10) Eyes small; EL is about to X HW in P. picteti and P. pollux and to X HW in P. timbripennis. (11) Alitrunk in profile, not including propodeal spines, wdth a regularly arched dorsum, in dorsal view without any su- tures. (12) Pronotum unarmed. (13) Metapleural lobes bluntlv round- ed. (14) Petiole node in profile longer than high, with a long anterior peduncle; its an- terodorsal angle is on approximately the same level as the posterodorsal. (15) Foveolate punctures or foveolate- reticulate sculpture present on the dorsal surfaces of the head and the alitrunk. This is a monophyletic group, contain- ing five valid species. It is easily recogniz- able by possessing characters 1, 2, 5, 8, and 14. This group is endemic in the Oriental region and restricted to the Philippines, Malaya, Singapore, Brunei, Sabah, Bor- neo, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. The males of the umhripennis group are easily distinguished from the other known Pristomyrmex males by possessing the fol- lowing characters: (1) medium to large size; (2) palp formula 1,3; (3) propodeum wdth a pair of broad-based, robust spines (Figs. 256, 279, 280); and (4) the sides of petiole vdth some longit
