Eurhopalothrix clypeata

Longino (2013): This species is still known only from the unique holotype worker.

Identification
Longino (2013): It is most similar to Eurhopalothrix pilulifera and Eurhopalothrix alopeciosa, sharing the small size; a similar arrangement and number of erect setae, these almost circular, nearly as broad as wide; and abundant ground pilosity that is strongly flattened and conspicuous. Eurhopalothrix clypeata has an arcuate transverse carina on the clypeus, a character so far unique in the genus.
