Description
Worker
Bolton (2000) - TL 2.0, HL 0.55-0.58, HW 0.38-0.41, CI 69-71, ML 0.09, MI 15-16, SL 0.28-0.29, SI 71-74, PW 0.24-0.25, AL 0.58-0.60 (2 measured). Pilosity of clypeal dorsum in full-face view entirely of slender, more or less straight hairs that are fine, simple and cylindrical; apically the hairs may taper to a blunt point or be truncated. In profile these hairs are elevated and inclined anteriorly, but are not curved or arched forward in the apical halves of their lengths. Mediodorsally curved ground-pilosity between posterior margin of clypeus and highest point of vertex slender and simple, as are the principal curved hairs that project from the leading edge of the scape. See also notes under Strumigenys baudueri.
Type Material
Bolton (2000) - Holotype worker, GREECE: Corfu (Beier) (Museum of Comparative Zoology) [examined].
