Pachycondyla laevigata might be it. The head seems narrow for Dinoponera to me, but I don't remember those lovely striae on the face of P. laevigata. Whatever it is, it's a beauty. Adding a scale to...

I'll be closing down this NTA by this evening, and putting up the next one. Last minute hint: This species is a termite predator. (C'mon now, I'm almost giving this one away!)

Re: Name That Ant 13 (5/30/02)

If you want to send me the pictures I can host them here until the image server comes back up. I don't have nearly the bandwidth that Kuene has, though.
