{Monomorium vonatu}The photomontage is of a worker from Senegal, collector Lamine Diamé (04)


{Monomorium vonatu}The photomontage is derived from that shown on http://sifolinia.blogspot.com/2007/11/monomorium-vonatu.html, taken by Mike Lush, Gambia, 3.iv.2007.  If the scale is right, the specimen seems rather small (TL < 1.4 mm)
