The few known males of Heteroponera have the gastric shape of other ectatommines, with no excavation beneath. The relicta worker palpi are segmented 4, 3; hrouni and imhellis both have 3, 3 (my dissections) ; Kusnezov (1954) claims that the worker of H. dolo has 3, 2. In general, the species of the genus are small in size and form small colonies in soil, rotten wood or epiphyte masses. The distribution is discontinuous, with four species in Australia and New Zealand and six or seven in the New World tropics south into Figures 12 and 13. Heteroponera inca, sp. nov., paratype worker.
