Ants of Tiputini

Tiputini Amblyopone cf. cleae

From Brian Fisher: "...I have concluded is that A. cleae is a junior synonym of A. armigera.  Your specimen is smaller than the cleae colonies collected in Bahia Brazil, and more in line with the size of A. armigera but in terms of sculpture, there are similarities with cleae.  So I would use Amblyopone cf. cleae for now as the name for the specimen you have."
