Abstract
FIORENTINO, Gianpiero; TOCORA, María Camila and FERNANDEZ, Fernando. A new species of small myrmicine ant in the genus Eurhopalothrix Brown & Kempf, 1961 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Colombia. Rev. Colomb. Entomol. [online]. 2022, vol.48, n.1, e11484. Epub Apr 11, 2022. ISSN 0120-0488. https://doi.org/10.25100/socolen.v48i1.11484.
A new species of Eurhopalothrix Brown & Kempf, E. amati Fiorentino, Tocora and Fernández, n. sp. is described based on workers collected in northwestern Colombia. A taxonomic key and distributional map for the new species in the country are provided. This new species differs from other Eurhopalothrix ants by the configuration of specialized setation, a decrease in its propodeal spines, its irregular metanotum profile, and the triangular shape of the head capsule.
