Genus Psalidomyrmex André (1890: 314)In Tribe PONERINI. Plectroctena group
Genus revised by Bolton (1975b), the genus members were described as rare and restricted to the forest zones (Bolton, 1973a). Bernard (1952), whose findings included foveolatus from savanna, also described a queen of what he took to be a new species - "clavicornis" - but this was reassigned to the status of junior synonym of Pachycondyla talpa (by W.L. Brown, unpublished?, in Bolton, 1975b). Bolton & Brown (2002) have added a few extra findings. Antennal variation as illustrated by Bernard (1952). |
