The specimen shown below appears on the Antweb page for Phrynoponera
gabonensis. The overall form is quite different, notably the
petiole with five equisized spines, the unusually thick scapes and the
very fine regular longitudinal striations on the head. Antweb entry the same in April 2015.
The photomontage of a specimen from Angola is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=sam-hym-c007965.
