Syn. by Taylor, 1965: 346.</p><p>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.</p><p>KEY TO THE SPECIES</p><p>(Worker and females)</p><p>1 Petiole in lateral view with a ventral, rectangular process (Figs. 7, 8) .......... petiolatus <span><sup><a href="https://osuc.biosci.ohio-state.edu/hymenoptera/nomenclator.lsid_entry?lsid=urn:lsid:biosci.ohio-state.edu:osuc_concepts:35541" title="Lookup 'petiolatus' at Hymenoptera Name Server">HNS</a></sup></span></p><p>- Petiole in lateral view with a ventral process directed towards the mesosoma (Figs. 2, 4 - 6) .......................................................................... 2</p><p>2 Small body size (TL &lt;0.95 mm), short scape (SI &lt;105).
