Figure 5A, B View Figure 5

Material examined. COLOMBIA: Antioquia • 1 worker; Amalfi; 06°55′00″N, 075°04′00″W; alt. 1045 m; 20 Apr. 1998; F. Sernaleg.; UNAB 5454 GoogleMaps ; Chocó • 1 worker; 05°40′40″N, 076°35′36″W; alt. 35 m; 24 Nov. 2001; J. Neita leg.; UNAB 5454 GoogleMaps .

Identification. Subocular prominence higher than eye in frontal view of head; anteroventral petiolar denticle welldeveloped; body with abundant semi-erect thick hairs; propodeum without denticles; and cephalic neck short and lacking carina ( Lattke 1997).

Distribution. Besides the Colombian departments of An- tioquia, Valle del Cauca, and San Andres Island, A. reburrum is only known from French Guiana ( Lattke 1997; Fichaux et al. 2019), but this disjunct distribution sug- gests the species might be more widely distributed across northern South America and possibly the Caribbean.
