Fourteen native species are revealed, of which eight are described as new: N. boltoni LaPolla and Fisher, N. brevisetula LaPolla and Fisher, N. impolita LaPolla and Fisher, N. luteafra LaPolla and Fisher, N. scintilla LaPolla and Fisher, N. silvula LaPolla and Fisher, N. umbella LaPolla and Fisher, and N. usambarica LaPolla, Hawkes and Fisher. Two species, N. jaegerskioeldi and N. natalensis, have workers that are indistin- guishable from each other, and males are the only reliable way to separate these two species. Three non-native Nylanderia spe- cies are thought to have been introduced to Africa: N. bourbonica, N. vaga, and N. vividula. An identification key to the worker caste is provided.10aafrotropics10aformicidae10anylanderia10aparaparatrechina10aprenolepis genus-group1 aLaPolla, J.S.1 aHAWKES, P.G.1 aFisher, B.L.  uhttp://seag-insectes.com/fr/node/361
