pospetiole swollen
pospetiole swollen
In dorsal view, the postpetiole appearing swollen, wider than long and conspicuously broader than the petiole. Used in Antkey to separate Cardiocondyla from various myrmicine genera.
postpetiole with spongiform
postpetiole with spongiform
<p>The postpetiole with distinct spongiform. Used in Antkey to separate Strumigenys gundlachi, Strumigenys hexamera and Strumigenys membranifera from other Strumigenys species with denticles on their mandibles (as opposed to apical forks).</p>
subpetiolar process well developed
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
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
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
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.
spongiform on waist

Spongiform is attached to at least some portion of the waist. Used in Antkey to separate Strumigenys and Strumigenys from Cyphomyrmex and Eurhopalothrix.
