Abstract
Micromyrmex darlingtoni, n. sp. from Jamaica and possibly from Haiti, and Micromyrmex spatulata, n. sp. from the Dominican Republic, are des cribed and illustrated. This represents the first record of the tribe Otidocephalini from Jamaica. Micromyrmex darlingtoni is distinguished from other described Micromyrmex by the orange-red elytra that contras t with the shining, black body. All other described Micromyrmex have b lack elytra. Micromyrmex spatulata is distinguished by the presence of spatulate setae on the elytra, which are lacking in all other describ ed Micromyrmex.
