Holotype worker, SURINAME: Nieuw Amsterdam, 30.iii.1996 (D. Makhan) [not in USPS]. New junior synonym of Strumigenys louisianae Roger, 1863 .

Comment. From the photographs that are figs. 11 and 12 it is apparent that Pyramica wani is yet another name to add to the already long synonymy of Strumigenys louisianae . The range of this species is vast, extending from the southern states of the U.S.A. to northern Argentina; it is already well known in the fauna of Suriname (Dirkshoop).
