Polyrhachis celebensis

Nothing is known about the biology of Polyrhachis celebensis.

Identification
Kohout (2006): Characterised by angular pronotal shoulders armed with diminutive denticles, a petiole armed with four spines (the dorsal pair rather prominent and slightly longer than the lateral pair) and black legs. In contrast, the pronotal shoulders in Polyrhachis rastellata are narrowly rounded, the petiolar spines subequal in length and the legs distinctly orange or light reddish-brown.
