We revise species of seed-harvester ants in the genus Pogonomyrmex (subfamily Myrmicinae) that occur on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. Three species are recognized: P. aterrimus Wheeler (new status), P. saucius Wheeler and Mann, and P. schmitti Forel. Pogonomyrmex schmitti sublaevigatus Wheeler (= schmitti) and P. schmitti darlingtoni Wheeler (= aterrimus) are synonomized. We also describe the queen of P. aterrimus and P. saucius, and provide information on biology, distribution maps, and a key to workers and queens.
我们修订了加勒比海伊斯帕尼奥拉岛上的收获蚁属（切叶蚁亚科）的蚁种。确认了三个物种：暗黑收获蚁（惠勒，新地位）、粗收获蚁（惠勒和曼）以及施氏收获蚁（福勒）。施氏收获蚁亚光变种（惠勒，= 施氏收获蚁）和施氏收获蚁达林顿变种（惠勒，= 暗黑收获蚁）被归为同物异名。我们还描述了暗黑收获蚁和粗收获蚁的蚁后，并提供了生物学信息、分布图以及工蚁和蚁后的检索表。
