  • Furcotanilla Xu, 2012 is a monotypic genus that was established by separating a unique Protanilla species characterized by massive furcated mandibles and other characters (Xu 2012). In the present paper, we describe a new species, Protanilla jongi sp. nov., which appears to be a morphological intermediate between Protanilla and Furcotanilla; therefore, we suggest that Furcotanilla should be considered a junior synonym of Protanilla. Furthermore, a key to the world fauna of Protanilla based on the worker caste, and the first description of the P. lini Terayama, 2009 queen was provided.
