Abstract Two new Australian ants of the genus Monomorium Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are described. The most distinctive of the two species, Monomorium sublamellatum sp. n., pushes back the diagnostic boundaries of the genus Monomorium , and can not be placed at present in existing Australian species‐groups of Monomorium . Monomorium punctulatum sp. n. belongs to the Monomorium rubriceps species‐group.
