subpetiolar process
subpetiolar process broad with fenestra
subpetiolar process broad and with fenestra present
petiole subtriangular
The petiole is subtriangular, relatively short and broad with distinctly convex anterior and posterior faces. The subpetiolar process is reduced to a small convexity that weakly breaks the outline of the ventral margin. Used in Antkey to separate Hypoponera zwaluwenburgi from Hypoponera opaciceps, Hypoponera punctatissima and Hypoponera ragusai.
petiole subrectangular
The petiole is subrectangular, relatively tall and narrow and with a nearly flat anterior face. The subpetiolar process is well developed and strongly convex. Used in Antkey to separate Hypoponera opaciceps, Hypoponera punctatissima and Hypoponera ragusai from Hypoponera zwaluwenburgi.
subpetiolar process well developed
The subpetiolar process is well developed as a flange or lobe. The process is located at the far anterior end of the petiole and maybe be difficult to see on most specimens. Used in Antkey to separate Solenopsis xyloni from Solenopsis geminata.
subpetiolar process lacks fenestra
The subpetiolar process lacks a fenestra, and also lacks a posteriorly projecting angle or tooth. Used in Antkey to separate Hypoponera from Ponera.
subpetiolar process weak or absent
The subpetiolar process is weak to absent, never as a well developed flange or lobe. If a process is present, it is located at the far anterior end of the petiole and maybe be difficult to see on most specimens. Used in Antkey to separate Solenopsis geminata from Solenopsis xyloni.
subpetiolar process with fenestra
The subpetiolar process has a fenestra at the anterior end, and often also has a posteriorly projecting angle or tooth. Used in Antkey to separate Ponera from Hypoponera.
subpetiolar process lacks fenestra
The subpetiolar process narrow and with a fenestra absent Used in Antkey to separate Amblyopone zwaluwenburgi from Prionopelta antillana.
subpetiolar process with fenestra
The subpetiolar process broad and with a fenestra present. Used in Antkey to separate Prionopelta antillana from Amblyoponinae zwaluwenburgi.
subpetiolar process
The petiole has a large, well developed subpetiolar process. The process is at the anterior portion of the petiole, and may be difficult to see unless a clear view is obtained. Used in Antkey to separate Vollenhovia from various other myrmicine genera.
