return to key {link to the Hymenoptera Name Server} Type location Central African Republic

WORKER - TL ca 1.5 mm; small and narrow-headed; antennal scrobes distinct; long flagellate hairs on the pronotum but not on the head; colour pale yellow.


Previously confused by me with Pyramica (Serrastruma) sulumana but that has long mandibles and exceptionally long scapes.
