Probolomyrmex petiolatus Taylor, R. W., 1965 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Probolomyrmex petiolatus Taylor, R. W., 1965, Transactions of the Royal Entomological Society of London 117: 363-363.
Description
The unique holotype worker of this species is illustrated in figures 34 and 35. It has the following dimensions: HL, 0.51 mm.; HW, 0.36 mm.; SL, 0.29 mm.; CI, 71; SI, 81; WL, 0.65 mm.; PW, 0.27 mm.; dorsal petiole width, 0.14 mm.; petiolar node index, 52; petiole height, 0.27 mm.; petiolar node length, 0.23 mm.; lateral petiolar index, 85. Weber's original description adequately characterises this distinctive species. The worker of P. petiolatusHNS differs from that of the sympatric P. angusticepsHNS in its smaller size, with relatively broad head, much shorter scapes, and shorter, more compact petiolar node. The unknown worker of P. boliviensisHNS is undoubtedly similar to P. angusticepsHNS in these features.
