mesonotum with 1 pair of hairs (Technomyrmex)

The mesonotum with one pair of erect hairs. Used in Antkey to separate Technomyrmex difficilis and Technomyrmex pallipes from Technomyrmex albipes and Technomyrmex vitiensis. 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.
