本文将1862年的Pheidologeton Mayr属同义化于1840年的Carebara Westwood，并建立和修订了Carebara polita组。该种群目前包括来自非洲热带地区的6种（C. madibai、C. nicotianae、C. perpusilla、C. polita、C. silvestrii和C. villersi）和来自新热带地区的2种（C. brevipilosa和C. urichi）。政治组明显地将Carebara和Pheidologeton联系起来，并且，由于后者缺乏自同形特征，将这两个属分开不再是合理的。因此，Carebara被认为是一个单系的和更好定义的属，可以更有信心地从其他属中分离出来。本文综述了Carebara的分布和生物学，以及目前在Carebara下同义属的各种属的图像，并讨论了它们共有的特征。讨论了非洲热带和马达加斯加Carebara中存在的多态性，并描述了一种来自非洲的新种C. madibai sp. n。木兰花亚种arnoldiana synn、Carebara perpusilla concedens synn、Carebara perpusilla spinosa synn是木兰花的新近义词。将烟叶少蝇重新提升到种级，并转移到烟叶小蠹梳中。N .名词；点状金针是金针金针的新同义词。n.和C. pygmaea albipes梳子。n., syn n.， C. pygmaea bugnioni comb.。n., syn. n.和C. simularensis syn. n.是C. pygmaea comb的新近义词。n . .以下名称从Pheidologeton转移到Carebara作为新的组合（必要时将物种绰号调整为雌性词尾）：异常虫、亲缘虫、爪牙亲缘虫、小亲缘虫、棘亲缘虫、sumatrensis亲缘虫、ceylonensis、牙病毒、diversa、draco亲缘虫、ficta亲缘虫、laotina亲缘虫、macgregori亲缘虫、菲律宾亲缘虫、standfussi亲缘虫、tabprobanae亲缘虫、tenuirugosa亲缘虫、williamsi亲缘虫、hammoniae、hostilis、kunensis、latinoda、macus、mayri、melanocephala、melasolena、nana、nanningensis、obscura、petulens、pullata、pungens、pygmaea、rubra、rugiceps、rugosa、schossnicensis、silena、小檗属、孤枝属、横枝属、蠓属、变种蝇属、小枝蝇属、小枝蝇属、野枝蝇属和增城蝇属。三个新的组合产生了次级同音异义词，并在这里被新的名称所取代：C. mayri (Santschi, 1928) = C. gustavmayri nom. n， C. rugosa (Karavaiev, 1935) = C. rugoflabella nom. n，和C. silvestrii (Wheeler, 1929b) = C. luzonensis nom. n。两个新的组合在Carebara已经存在的物种中产生了次级同音异义词：C. tabprobanae (Forel, 1911a) = C. sinhala nom. n，和C. nana Santschi, 1919 = C. pumilia nom. n。
In this paper the genus Pheidologeton Mayr, 1862 is synonymized under Carebara Westwood, 1840 and the Carebara polita group is established and revised. This species group currently includes six species from the Afrotropical region (C. madibai, C. nicotianae, C. perpusilla, C. polita, C. silvestrii, and C. villiersi) and two species from the Neotropical region (C. brevipilosa and C. urichi). The polita group clearly links Carebara and Pheidologeton, and, due to a lack of autapomorphic characters for the latter, a separation of the two genera is no longer justified. As a result Carebara is presented as a monophyletic and better defined genus that can be separated from other genera with more confidence. We present an overview of the distribution and biology of Carebara as well as images from the various genera currently in synonymy under Carebara, and discuss the characters they share. The polymorphism present in Afrotropical and Malagasy Carebara is discussed and one new species from Africa, C. madibai sp. n., is described. The subspecies Carebara perpusilla arnoldiana syn. n., Carebara perpusilla concedens syn. n., and Carebara perpusilla spinosa syn. n. are new synonyms of Carebara perpusilla. Oligomyrmex politus nicotianae is re-elevated to species level and transferred into Carebara, C. nicotianae comb. n., stat. rev.; C. punctata is a new synonym of C. silvestrii comb. n. and C. pygmaea albipes comb. n., syn n., C. pygmaea bugnioni comb. n., syn. n., and C. simularensis syn. n. are new synonyms of C. pygmaea comb. n.. The following names are transferred from Pheidologeton to Carebara as new combinations (with the species epithets adjusted to female endings where necessary): aberrans, affinis, affinis javana, affinis minor, affinis spinosior, affinis sumatrensis, ceylonensis, dentiviris, diversa, diversa draco, diversa ficta, diversa laotina, diversa macgregori, diversa philippina, diversa standfussi, diversa taprobanae, diversa tenuirugosa, diversa williamsi, hammoniae, hostilis, kunensis, latinoda, maccus, mayri, melanocephala, melasolena, nana, nanningensis, obscura, petulens, pullata, pungens, pygmaea, rubra, rugiceps, rugosa, schossnicensis, silena, silvestrii, solitaria, transversalis, trechideros, varia, vespilla, volsellata, yanoi, and zengchengensis. Three new combinations are creating secondary junior homonyms and are here replaced with new names: C. mayri (Santschi, 1928) = C. gustavmayri nom. n., C. rugosa (Karavaiev, 1935) = C. rugoflabella nom. n., and C. silvestrii (Wheeler, 1929b) = C. luzonensis nom. n. Two new combinations are creating secondary junior homonyms among species already in Carebara: C. taprobanae (Forel, 1911a) = C. sinhala nom. n., and C. nana Santschi, 1919 = C. pumilia nom. n.
