We revise the four species of Kaszabister Mazur, 1972, one of which, Kaszabister barrigaisp. n., is described as new. The other species in the genus are Kaszabister rubellus (Erichson, 1834), Kaszabister ferrugineus (Kirsch, 1873) and Kaszabister carinatus (Lewis, 1888). The species are principally known from the subtropics of South America, with one in Central America. Lectotypes are designated for Kaszabister rubellus and Kaszabister ferrugineus, and a key is provided for all the species. Ants of the genus Solenopsis Westwood, mainly Solenopsis invicta Buren and Solenopsis saevissima (Smith), are documented as hosts of three of the four species.
我们修订了1972年的卡氏蚁属（Kaszabister Mazur）的四个物种，其中一个新物种——巴里加斯卡氏蚁（Kaszabister barrigaisp. n.）被描述。该属的其他物种有红卡氏蚁（Kaszabister rubellus (Erichson, 1834)）、锈色卡氏蚁（Kaszabister ferrugineus (Kirsch, 1873)）和具脊卡氏蚁（Kaszabister carinatus (Lewis, 1888)）。这些物种主要分布于南美洲亚热带地区，有一种分布在中美洲。为红卡氏蚁和锈色卡氏蚁指定了选模标本，并提供了所有物种的检索表。记录显示，四种中的三种的寄主为韦氏火蚁属（Solenopsis Westwood）蚂蚁，主要是入侵红火蚁（Solenopsis invicta Buren）和极凶猛火蚁（Solenopsis saevissima (Smith)）。
