Discussion
Comments. This is the largest of the South American species. It is easily diagnosed by the combination of its mesosoma size, the short scape and the very distinct sculpture. The synonymy could be confirmed through a series of workers and females. The biology of boliviensisHNS is described in detail by Taylor (1965), but many questions such as nutritional base need to be answered. This species occurs in rainforests of northern South America, from Panama to Bolivia.
