Syllophopsis sechellensis ( Emery, 1894) View in CoL
Material examined. None available.
Material not physically examined. Amber Road, Katong, 28 Jul 2014, J.K. Wetterer leg., vial #337 ( MSC) .
Literature. Wetterer & Sharaf (2017).
Localities. Amber Road (Katong)
Habitat/Ecology. Specimens were collected from a wooded area in an urban residential district.
Remarks. Workers of this species can be distinguished from most other congeners by a matte and reticulate punctate mesopleuron, and short propodeal spines. These ants are apparently native to the Old World tropics ( Wetterer & Sharaf 2017), but have spread to other regions, including the New World, mainly by human commerce.
