Taxonavigation

Genus: Probolomyrmex

Name

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.

Distribution

Distribution. - Known only from the type locality, Panama: Barro Colorado Island.

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. petiolatus differs from that of the sympatric P. angusticeps in its smaller size, with relatively broad head, much shorter scapes, and shorter, more compact petiolar node. The unknown worker of P. boliviensis is undoubtedly similar to P. angusticeps in these features.

Biology and Ecology
