Key to Australian Acropyga Species

The following key to Australian Acropyga species has been modified from LaPolla (2004).

1

 * Antennal scapes and posterior margin of head (in full face view) with numerous long erect hairs (those on scape about as long as scape width) => Acropyga acutiventris


 * Antennal scapes and posterior margin of head (in full face view) either lacking erect hairs, or when present, hairs are short (those on scape less than scape width) => 2

2

 * Larger species, head width greater than 0.6mm => Acropyga myops


 * Smaller species, head width less than 0.6mm => Acropyga pallida
