Abstract:

Protanilla schoedli sp.n. is described from a gyne collected in Sri Lanka. This first described Protanilla gyne has eyes and wings, two plesiomorphic traits not shared with Leptanilla. The new species, moreover, allows considerable extension of the geographic range of this southern Palaearctic and Oriental genus.
