Description: 

The mesonotum lacking any erect hairs. Used in Antkey to separate Technomyrmex albipes and Technomyrmex vitiensis from Technomyrmex difficilis and Technomyrmex pallipes. The erect hairs of Technomyrmex specimens can often be rubbed off prior to examination, so caution should be exercised when using this character for identification.
