Bellendenker palpalis gen. et sp. nov. is described based on specimens collected in northeastern Australia. The genus is unique among glandulariine Scydmaeninae in strikingly elongated labial palps, which are longer than the labium; no modifications of labial palps have been known so far in this large tribe. Bellendenker is most similar to the Australian genus Scydmaenozila Jałoszyński, they share similar thoracic structures. Numerous differences in cephalic characters can be used to distinguish these genera; moreover, adults of Bellendenker are wingless and have reduced structures of the elytral base. Fourteen genera of Glandulariini (plus one of unclear status, known only from original description) are currently known to occur in Australia, eight being endemic to this continent.
基于在澳大利亚东北部采集的标本，描述了新属新种贝尔伦登克须蚁（Bellendenker palpalis gen. et sp. nov.）。在腺毛蚁亚科（Glandulariine Scydmaeninae）中，该属具有独特的显著拉长的唇须，其长度超过唇基；在这个大部落中，迄今为止尚未发现唇须有变异情况。贝尔伦登克须蚁与澳大利亚的斯氏蚁属（Scydmaenozila Jałoszyński）最为相似，它们具有相似的胸部结构。头部特征存在许多差异可用于区分这些属；此外，贝尔伦登克须蚁的成虫无翅，鞘翅基部结构退化。目前已知澳大利亚有14个腺毛蚁属（Glandulariini）（加上一个地位不明、仅从原始描述中得知的属），其中8个是该大陆特有的。
