Among members of the oculatus group (see Ward, 1989), workers of elongatus can be recognized by the
following combination of features:
- relatively small size (HW 0.56-0.68)
- head densely punctate and predominantly opaque
- eyes relatively long (REL 0.53-0.59; REL2 0.73-0.82)
- petiole relatively short (PLI 0.79-1.09), with rounded dorsolateral margination

Distribution:
Pseudomyrmex elongatus is a widely distributed and common species, occurring from Mexico to Argentina, with an outlying (and possibly introduced) population in Florida. The records of P. elongatus from Texas (Ward, 1985) are in error: they refer to P. caeciliae (see Ward, 1989).
