Résumé
A new myrmicine ant species from the Philippines, Carebara alperti n. sp., is described with taxonomic notes about the genus. The new species is congruent with the genus definition proposed recently by Fernández (2004). The myrmicine ant genus Parvimyrma is synonymized under Carebara (n. syn.), and the new combination Carebara sangi (Eguchi & Bui 2007) is proposed. Reinterpretation of Carebara villiersi, originally described in the genus Nimbamyrma, suggests that Pheidologeton should probably be synonymized within Carebara. A synoptic sketch of the systematic of the Carebara genus group is provided to show probable phylogenetics relationships. Carebara arabara is proposed as a new name for Carebara striata Fernández, 2004:228.
