Polyergus texana

During his revision of Polyrhachis Trager (2013) found that "The length, color, and mandibular structure in Buckley’s description are quite clearly not those of Polyergus". This supports the conclusions of others who have been unable to associate this name with a known species and have treated the taxon as incertae sedis within the Formicidae or Polyergus.
