{Monomorium clavicorne}The photomontage is of a worker from Senegal, Tambacounda, Dindifa; collector B Ndiaye.

These seem to match Santschi's description and drawings of punicum exactly although it might be questioned as to whether that should constitute a separate species.


{Monomorium clavicorne}The photomontage is of a worker from Ivory Coast, Tai; collector Erena Dupont, ii.2014.


{Monomorium clavicorne}Egypt record - the photomontage is of workers from Egypt, taken by Mostafa Sharaf [perhaps misidentified as carbonarium by Mohamed et al].
