Description: 

The petiole, or most of the petiole, may occasionally be obscured by the gaster. This condition is often the case for species of Brachymyrmex, Nylanderia, Tapinoma and Technomyrmex (all of which have a single waist segment). Used in Antkey to separate the aforementioned genera from all others.
