Head entirely reticulate-punctate, including antennal scrobe. Mesosoma mostly reticulatepunctate, katepisternum partly smooth (Fig. 2B). Fourth abdominal tergite entirely smooth, except for basigastral costulae. Basigastral costulae short; in dorsal view, its length about a third of postpetiole length.</p><p>SETAE. Cephalic and mesosomal ground-setae spatulate (Fig. 2A). Metasomal setae elongate-spatulate to remiform. Apicoscrobal setae absent (Fig. 2A). Pair of erect setae on cephalic dorsum close to occipital margin present. Anterior margin of scape with one or more spatulate setae curved towards antennal insertion. Humeral setae absent and mesonotal setae present (but see Comments below).</p><p>HEAD. Masticatory margin of mandible with three to five denticles between apicodorsal tooth and submedian tooth, with two to four denticles proximal of submedian tooth (Fig. 2A). Apex of mandible with unknown number of intercalary denticles (but see Fig. 2A and Comments section for variation). Anterior clypeal margin, in dorsal view, slightly angular and projecting anteriorly. Eye, in lateral view, with four to five ommatidia in longest row. Eye on anterior half of head. In dorsal view, scape narrows basally; anterior margin expanded and almost lobate near subbasal bend. Third flagellomere smaller than fourth flagellomere; length of former only a third of length of latter.</p><p>MESOSOMA. Humerus with small angular projection. Dorsum of mesonotum, in lateral view, slightly higher than dorsum of pronotum. Metanotal groove weakly impressed. Propodeal spine relatively long and triangular, linked to propodeal lobe by narrow lamella that extends throughout propodeal declivity. Femoral bulla ovate and located distally on dorsal margin of sclerite.</p><p>METASOMA. Petiolar node, in dorsal view, slightly wider than long; in lateral view, anterior margin slightly longer than dorsal margin. Postpetiole, in lateral view, swollen and globular.Anterior margin of postpetiole, in dorsal view, medially concave. Ventral spongiform process of petiole absent. Ventral spongiform lobe of postpetiole minute to absent (Fig. 2B). Lateral spongiform lobe of postpetiole reduced to a narrow lamella (Fig. 2B). Ventral basigastral spongiform pad (= specialized setae on fourth abdominal sternite) small.</p><p>Comments</p><p>Bolton (2000) considered S. crassicornis as a member of the crassicornis complex (i.e., a cluster of species in the gundlachi species group), along with Strumigenys aethegenys (Bolton, 2000), S. auctidens (Bolton, 2000), S. brevicornis Mann, 1922, S. crementa (Bolton, 2000), S. metopia (Brown, 1959), S. myllorhapha (Brown, 1959), S. pasisops (Bolton, 2000), S. stenotes (Bolton, 2000), and S. zeteki (Brown, 1959). Members of the crassicornis complex are defined by the following traits (Bolton 2000): (i) inner margin of mandible with a submedian tooth or denticle near midlength; (ii) inner margin of mandible with smaller teeth between apicodorsal tooth and submedian tooth; (iii) three to five intercalary teeth; (iv) labral lobes long and slender; and (v) setae on apices of labral lobes short (i.e., with the same size or shorter than the labral lobes).</p><p>According to Bolton (2000), different series of this species show slight variation in setae and sculpture, although maintaining the diagnostic traits for the species. He mentioned that some specimens possibly have short filiform humeral setae, although this condition was not observed in the type specimen and a few other individuals observed in this study. Additionally, a pair of mesonotal erect simple setae, which was not mentioned by Mayr (1887) nor Bolton (2000) in their descriptions, was also observed in the lectotype and a few other specimens. Humeral and mesonotal setae are apparently lost during the lifetime of the ants, since many specimens, otherwise well preserved, did not have those setae and most of the ones which did have them appear to be young adults by the appearance of their cuticle. Also, some specimens had an extremely reduced lateral spongiform lobe in the postpetiole, appearing vestigial, agreeing with the description made by Bolton (2000).</p><p>In Bolton’s (2000) description, the author mentions that S. crassicornis have three to four minute intercalary teeth. Since we did not had access to the physical lectotype specimen, we could not confirm this condition. However, while studying other non-type specimens, we observed that the intercalary dentition consists of up to six to seven teeth. Interestingly, these intercalary teeth count does not agree with the diagnosis proposed by Bolton (2000) for the crassicornis complex.</p><p>In specimens collected in Orleans and Tunas do Paraná (cf. list of examined materials), the katepisternum appears entirely reticulate-punctate, without smooth patches whatsoever. Different specimens collected in the same square meter (from Winkler leaf-litter samples) possess both reticulate-punctate katepisternum and various degrees of smoothness. One specimen from Viçosa (Minas Gerais State) and one specimen from the Reserva Biólogica Augusto Ruschi (Espírito Santo State) also have an entirely reticulate-punctate katepisternum. In Viçosa, all the other specimens examined matched the lectotype in having a smooth katepisternum. The morphological variability in this particular character, summed with the higher intercalary teeth count found in some non-type specimens observed, reinforces the need for a reevaluation of the boundaries of this species.</p><p>In the Amazonian region, non-type specimens identified as S. crassicornis tend to depart further from the lectotype, differing in one or more traits, and do not entirely match the species’ diagnosis. One specimen from Primavera (Pará State) has shallow reticulation on fourth abdominal tergite. A couple of specimens from Amazonas state (vicinities of Manaus; cf. additional material examined ZF-02) have an almost entirely reticulate-punctate katepisternum and shallow reticulation on fourth abdominal tergite. A specimen from Canarana (Mato Grosso State) has shallow reticulation on fourth abdominal tergite and humeral and mesonotal setae which are not simple, but slightly flattened and subflagellate. A couple of specimens, also from Primavera, have shallow reticulation on fourth abdominal tergite, basigastral costulae absent, spongiform process on postpetiole absent, and smaller and less abundant metasomal erect setae. Finally, one specimen from “Jaci Novo’’ (Rondônia State) is much larger than all examined specimens, has both humeral and mesonotal setae flattened and subflagellate, and a comparatively larger postpetiole, with shallow reticulation on fourth abdominal tergite.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E53F8786575BF249FDA7AEAD44EBCDC3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Head entirely reticulate-punctate, including antennal scrobe. Mesosoma entirely reticulatepunctate, except for katepisternum and part of metapleura, which are smooth (Fig. 4B). Fourth abdominal tergite superficially reticulate-punctate near base. Length of basigastral costulae, in dorsal view, more or less equal to length of postpetiole.</p><p>SETAE. Cephalic ground-setae remiform (Fig. 4A). Two pairs of remiform erect setae on cephalic dorsum; one pair near medial region of head, other near occipital margin. Apicoscrobal setae flagellate (Fig. 4A). Anterior margin of scape with one or more remiform setae curved towards antennal insertion. Humeral setae flagellate (Fig. 4B). Erect setae on antero-medial region of pronotum absent. Pair of erect setae on mesonotum stiff, simple to slightly remiform. Setae on petiole, postpetiole and fourth abdominal tergite remiform to slightly clavate.</p><p>HEAD. Masticatory margin of mandible with 5–10 preapical denticles (Fig. 4A). Apex of mandible with two minute intercalary denticles (Fig. 4A). Anterior clypeal margin, in dorsal view, convex medially. Eye, in lateral view, with three to four ommatidia along longest row. Eye on anterior half of head. In dorsal view, scape cylindrical. Third flagellomere smaller than fourth flagellomere; length of former only one-third of length of latter.</p><p>MESOSOMA. Humerus with small angular projection. Dorsum of mesonotum, in lateral view, convex, confluent with dorsum of pronotum. Metanotal groove weakly impressed, almost absent in lateral view. Propodeal spine relatively long and triangular, linked to propodeal lobe by narrow carina that extends</p><p>throughout propodeal declivity. Femoral bulla small, ovate and located distally on dorsal margin of sclerite.</p><p>METASOMA. Petiolar node, in dorsal view, slightly wider than long, almost as long as wide; in lateral view, anterior margin almost as long as dorsal margin. Anterior margin of postpetiole, in dorsal view, concave. Lateral and ventral spongiform processes of petiole absent. Ventral spongiform lobe of postpetiole minute (Fig. 4B). Lateral spongiform lobe of postpetiole vestigial (Fig. 4B). Ventral basigastral spongiform pad absent.</p><p>Comments</p><p>Bolton (2000) considered S. denticulata as a member of the gundlachi complex (i.e., a cluster of species under the gundlachi species group), along with Strumigenys connectens Kempf, 1958, S. decipula (Bolton, 2000), S. eggersi Emery, 1890, S. enopla (Bolton, 2000), S. gemella Kempf, 1975, S. gundlachi (Roger, 1862), S. jamaicensis Brown, 1959, S. laevipleura Kempf, 1958, S. lalassa (Bolton, 2000), S. nubila Lattke &amp; Goitía, 1997, S. subedentata Mayr, 1887, S. trieces Brown, 1960, S. vartana (Bolton, 2000), and S. xenognatha Kempf, 1958. Members of the gundlachi complex are defined by the following traits (Bolton 2000): (i) inner margin of mandible without a submedian tooth or denticle near midlength; (ii) inner margin of mandible with several teeth of different sizes posterior to the apicodorsal tooth; (iii) two (rarely three) intercalary teeth; (iv) labral lobes short; and (v) setae on apices of labral lobes long (i.e., longer than the labral lobes).</p><p>According to Bolton (2000), specimens belonging to S. denticulata have a wide range of mandibular length variation, with individuals collected in a single leaf litter sample presenting MIs ranging from 72 to 85. It is important to notice that the MI of the lectotype falls near the maximum value established by Bolton (i.e., MI 84.9). On the other hand, ML and HL measurements fall well within the range proposed by the same author as diagnosable for the species (i.e., ML 0.355 and HL 0.418).</p><p>According to Bolton (2000), some specimens identified as S. denticulata have the katepisternum entirely reticulate-punctate, while all specimens observed in this study (cf. examined material) have a smooth patch in the katepisternum, including the lectotype. All specimens observed had the fourth abdominal tergite mostly smooth, only with the base of the sclerite with reticulate-punctate sculpture.</p><p>One of the paralectotypes (BMNH(E)1013551) is missing the postpetiole and gaster, rendering it impossible to evaluate morphological variability of those body regions in this particular individual.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E53F87865750F24CFDA2ACC14263C8FD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

According to Wetterer (2018), this species can be commonly found in urban areas when occurring outside its original range, which was, according to Brown (1960), “probably south Brazil and Bolivia, though a lack of collections from central and northern Brazil prevents us from knowing how far north this species extends”. Since Brown’s (1960) work, the number of records of S. eggersi in the Neotropical region has greatly increased, especially due to recent sampling efforts conducted in ecosystems both within and adjacent to the Amazon basin. Nonetheless, there still remains a large record gap for the species in the center of the Amazon biome. Although the revision of the species was not the aim of the present work, it is important to consider that the continuous reduction of this ‘distribution gap’ is fundamental when addressing the specific boundaries for S. eggersi .</p><p>Among the specimens examined, dentition patterns varied greatly, both in size and number. In the lectotype, there are total of seven preapical teeth restricted to the distal third of the inner margin of the mandible, while in some other specimens observed there are five or six preapical teeth. Bolton (2000) mentioned that specimens belonging to S. eggersi can have four to eight teeth in the inner margin of the mandible, indicating that teeth variation is expected in this species. However, Longino (2006) provided an important account on the usefulness of teeth variation in demarcating different species of Strumigenys belonging to the gundlachi group, indicating that dental variation (number and relative size of teeth) should be carefully considered when discriminating potential new species in this group.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E53F87865755F251FDCCAA2F4200CF3D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Head entirely reticulate-punctate, including antennal scrobe. Mesosoma entirely reticulatepunctate (see Comments). Fourth abdominal tergite reticulate-punctate near base (Fig. 8C). Length of basigastral costulae, in dorsal view, almost half length of postpetiole.</p><p>SETAE. Cephalic ground-setae remiform (Fig. 8A). Two pairs of remiform erect setae on cephalic dorsum; both pairs located on posterior third of cephalic dorsum, one pair nearer to occipital margin. Apicoscrobal setae remiform (Fig. 8A). Anterior margin of scape with one or more remiform setae curved towards antennal insertion. Humeral setae remiform (Fig. 8B). Four pairs of erect remiform setae (excluding humeral pair) on promesonotum (Fig. 8B). Setae on petiole, postpetiole and fourth abdominal tergite remiform.</p><p>HEAD. Masticatory margin of mandible with five preapical denticles (Fig. 8A; see Comments). Apex of mandible with two minute intercalary denticles (Fig. 8A). Anterior clypeal margin, in dorsal view, angular medially. Eye, in lateral view, with five to seven ommatidia along longest row. Eye located on</p><p>anterior half of head. In dorsal view, scape dorsoventrally flattened, expanded throughout its length. Third flagellomere smaller than fourth flagellomere; length of former almost half length of latter.</p><p>MESOSOMA. Humerus with small angular projection. Dorsum of mesonotum, in lateral view, convex, confluent with dorsum of pronotum. Metanotal groove relatively well impressed. Propodeal spine long and triangular, translucent, and linked to propodeal lobe by narrow lamella that extends throughout propodeal declivity. Femoral bulla small, ovate and located distally on dorsal margin of sclerite.</p><p>METASOMA. Petiolar node, in dorsal view, as long as wide; in lateral view, anterior margin almost as long as dorsal margin. Anterior margin of postpetiole, in dorsal view, slightly concave, almost straight. Lateral and ventral spongiform processes of petiole absent. Ventral spongiform lobe of postpetiole small. Lateral spongiform lobe of postpetiole small. Ventral basigastral spongiform pad reduced to curved (U-shaped in anterior view) carina.</p><p>Comments</p><p>Bolton (2000) considered S. subedentata as a member of the gundlachi complex (see Comments in S. denticulata). The lectotype and the additional examined specimens did not show major morphological variation. Most specimens have an entirely reticulate-punctate katepisternum; however, some of them have a small but distinct smooth patch on the ventral-most area of the katepisternum. Although it is not possible to clearly determine if the katepisternum of the lectotype has a smooth patch based solely on images, direct observation of the physical specimen showed that this anatomical region is entirely sculptured (G. Broad pers. comm.).</p><p>In the lectotype specimen both mandibles possess five preapical teeth each (G. Broad pers. comm.), while in almost every non-type specimen observed in this study this number varied, in a symmetrical manner, from four to seven in each mandible. However, in a few specimens, we observed asymmetric variation in dentition count, which, despite not being a prevalent condition, it is a noteworthy variation.</p><p>Despite the wide range of occurrence of the species, the observed morphological traits did not presented a high variability degree, agreeing with Bolton’s (2000) own observations. Nonetheless, examination of specimens sampled in other ecosystems within the Neotropical region will provide a clearer understanding of morphological variation along the distribution range of S. subedentata, allowing for a better delimitation of the species’ boundaries in future revisionary endeavors.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E53F87865748F255FDA7AE6E4362CC70	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
