Abstract:
The world members of the ant genus Leptanilla are reviewed based on the morphological characters of the worker caste. Three new species, Leptanilla qinlingensis sp.n., L. dehongensis sp.n., and L. beijingensis sp.n., are described from China based on the worker caste. The new species L. beijingensis sp.n. was once identified as L. taiwanensis Ogata & al., 1995 by mistake in 2017. A key based on the worker caste is provided to the 38 known species of the world.
