Strumigenys trymala

Identification
Bolton (1983) - Extremely closely related to Strumigenys thuvida and answering to the description given for that species. In particular, trymala shows the same highly characteristic cephalic sculpture as thuvida, having numerous broad foveolate punctures with smooth spaces between them so that the head appears cratered. This very distinctive sculpture coupled with minute size, yellow colour, and the characters noted in the species-group diagnosis serve to isolate thuvida and trymala from all other Afrotropical Glamyromyrmex. The two are separated as follows.
