Identification
Tetramorium galoasanum looks similar to T. clunum and T. setuliferum. They are the only species in solidum-group with glittering hairs. Tetramorium galoasanum (HW1.44- 1.58) is larger than T. clunum (HW 0.934-1.090) and T. setuliferum (HW 0.964-1.277). The glittering hairs are much denser in T. galoasanum compared to the other two species and almost overlap each other in places (Bolton 1980).
