NEW STATUS |
Pseudomyrmex lizeri (Santschi HNS 1922a). NEW STATUS.
Pseudomyrma flavidula st. lizeri Santschi HNS 1922a: 346.
Pseudomyrmex flavidulus lizeri (Santschi) HNS . Kusnezov 1953: 214.
Pseudomyrmex lizeri HNS is known from a pair of localities in eastern Paraguay where it is locally sympatric with the common P. flavidulus HNS . There is no reason to consider the two forms conspecific. In Paraguay, Pseudomyrmex lizeri HNS is a noticeably larger ant than P. flavidulus HNS and has a disproportionately broader head. I have not examined the type material of this species, but Phil Ward identified the Paraguayan specimens and concurs with a change in status for P. lizeri HNS (Ward, pers comm.).
