Polyrhachis levior

Polyrhachis levior is known only by the unique holotype (missing its head) from Aru Island, Indonesia. (Kohout 2006)

Identification
Its distinctly bilobed pronotal humeri resemble those of Polyrhachis albertisi. The mesosoma features a rather steeply raised pronotum and weakly convex mesonotum and propodeum. The promesonotal suture is distinct but the metanotal groove lacking, its position indicated only by a slight depression in the mesosomal outline. The propodeal spines are relatively long, somewhat dorso-ventrally compressed, directly dorso-laterally and posteriorly, with their bases set well apart. The dorsum of the petiole is furnished with four sharp teeth of equal length. (Kohout 2006)

Distribution
Known only from the type locality - Aru Island, Indonesia.
