蚂蚁属Prionopelta Mayr，1866被修订为新热带区。形态特征结合地理数据导致了8个种的识别，其中4个在这里描述为新种：Prionopelta dubia sp. n.，梅氏锯盾蚧Prionopelta menininha sp. n.，小锯盾蚧Prionopelta minuta sp. n.，和塔帕提锯角蚁Prionopelta tapatia sp. n. Prionopelta marthae Forel，1909是Prionopelta antillana Forel，1909的一个新的初级异名。外部形态描述的工人种姓的所有物种，以及为一些男性和皇后，大多是在这里描述的第一次。所有物种都提供了所有已知种姓的识别检索表、分布图和高分辨率插图。
The ant genus Prionopelta Mayr, 1866 is revised for the Neotropics. Morphological traits combined with geographical data led to the recognition of eight species, four of them described here as new: Prionopelta dubia sp. n., Prionopelta menininha sp. n., Prionopelta minuta sp. n., and Prionopelta tapatia sp. n. Prionopelta marthae Forel, 1909 is proposed as a new junior synonym of Prionopelta antillana Forel, 1909. External morphological descriptions of the worker caste for all species are provided, as well as for some of the males and queens, mostly described here for the first time. Identification keys for all known castes, distribution maps and high-resolution illustrations are supplied for all species.
