Monomorium moathi sp. n. is described and illustrated from Yemen based on the worker caste. This species belongs to the Monomorium salomonis-group, with closest resemblance to M. areniphilum Santschi, 1911. It is distinguished from the latter species by the following characters: Eyes oval, relatively large with eleven ommatidia in the longest row; Petiole node high and pointed in profile; Head, mesosoma and waist distinctly shagreenate granulate. Gaster finely shagreenate. Head dorsum, mesosoma, petiole, postpetiole and gastral tergites without hairs.
