D3C1AD9A84A72B66C3D90DDADBDA0BAA.taxon	discussion	A detailed and illustrated key to the genus is given by Bolton (1994), and a detailed diagnosis of the genus is provided by Taylor (1965). The long and slender body, the brown coloration, the finely or smoothly sculptured surface, the long sting, and foremost the socket-like base of the antennal insertion, unique among the ants, make this genus easily recognizable. Variation among the species is almost limited to changes in shape of the head and scape, the petiole and to a lesser degree, the body sculpture. In the field, the species are recognized by their very fast, straight movements, the stretched out antennae (Fig. 15), and that they are mainly found as singletons.	en	Agosti, D.

912F161D5254549854F92D5E5C1725CD.taxon	discussion	Comments. This is the largest of the South American species. It is easily diagnosed by the combination of its mesosoma size, the short scape and the very distinct sculpture. The synonymy could be confirmed through a series of workers and females. The biology of boliviensis is described in detail by Taylor (1965), but many questions such as nutritional base need to be answered. This species occurs in rainforests of northern South America, from Panama to Bolivia.	en	Agosti, D.

3B611881C2AB19B1FDFC786303267CF8.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species is easily recognized by its small size, the fine sculpture, and the shape and color of the ventral petiolar process which is the same as the one of the petiolar tergite. The specimens were collected by Winkler bags using sifted leaf litter from a secondary Yungas forest, and this species is only known by the two type specimens collected in the same locality.	en	Agosti, D.
