{Tetraponera poultoni}The photomontage is of a worker from Kenya, Subukia; collectors Dupont & Braet. This appears a close match to Donisthorpe's description but has no subventral process on the petiole; the specimen has a thin coating of grease of some form which slightly obscures the sculpturation on the head.
