Paratrachymyrmex View in CoL

1. Median pronotal spines separated ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , B), not basally fused ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , A).

2. Mandible dorsally striated ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , E), sometimes solely basally striated [e.g. P. levis ( Weber, 1938) ]. 3. Preocular carinae short, sometimes curved towards the frontal carinae ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , B, E) [e.g. Paratrachymyrmex diversus ( Mann, 1916) , P. intermedius ( Forel, 1909) , and P. mandibularis ( Weber, 1938) ].

4. Pilosity sparse ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , G).

5. Postocular protuberance inconspicuous ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , E).

6. Vertexal corners generally rounded ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , E).

7. Posterior margin of head usually with strong median impression ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , E).

8. Postpetiole in lateral view often with posteromedial impression (posterior margin concave) ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , G, J). 9. First gastral tergite often with conspicuous pair of lateral ridges, median pair usually poorly-marked or absent ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , J).

10. Propodeal projections short in most species [except in P. diversus , P. intermedius , and P. mandibularis ]. 11. Promesonotum usually with subequal-sized projections ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , G) [except in P. intermedius and P. mandibularis ]. 12. Antennal scape never with basal lobe; microtubercles tiny ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 , B, E).
