Pseudomyrma unicolor Smith, 1855, n. s.

Description

Sp. 2. Pseudomyrma unicolor, n. s.

Worker. - Length lines. Black, smooth and shining, covered with fine, short, pale, glittering pubescence, interspersed with scattered, erect, long, pale hairs; the upper surface of the thorax flattened, having the sides sharp and angulated; the mandibles rufo-testaceous; the claws rufo-piceous, the calcaria pale testaceous; the metathorax slightly curved above, from the base to the apex.

This species is from Brazil. I believe this insect would fall into the genus Condijlodon of Lund. I have been unable to detect anything beyond specific differences between that genus and Pseudomyrma, as characterized by M. Guerin. In my own Collection.
