Identification
This major worker is very like P. subarmata and may be within the range of variation of that species. Compared to subarmata, this major worker has more robust vertex lobes and the antennal scrobes, though shallow, are more developed. Minor workers are probably very similar to subarmata. Major worker: head length 0.1.18mm, head width 0.95mm, scape length 0.45mm (n=1).
Range
