Ocymyrmex cursor Bolton

return to key {link to the Hymenoptera Name Server} Type location Angola (Bolton, 1981b: 267, worker; Bolton & Marsh, 1989, illustrated, worker) .

{Ocymyrmex cursor}Bolton's description (1981b) is at {original description}. 

{Ocymyrmex cursor}The photomontage of the holotype worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0900394

Note. If the scale lines on the Antweb images are correct the sizes given by Bolton (1981b) were incorrect. Bolton gave PW as 1.30, cf 1.00 here; AL 2.74 cf 2.44; HL 2.08  HW 2.04 cf both 1.67. TL 9.7 ca 8.0 mm.  As only the holotype is known one set of measuremens has to be wrong.
