Podomyrma christae

Identification
Similar to Podomyrma libra. Podomyrma christae is an orange ant with a pair of semi-erect denticles on the petiolar node. It lacks the small upright teeth near the promesonotal suture found in P. libra. One example of P. christae recently recovered from a pitfall trap from Eneabba lacks teeth on the node, but is in all other respects identical to typical workers of this species.
