JTL049 (worker, CASENT0644222), S. JTL065 (worker, CASENT0602939), S. amblyogyna (holotype worker), S. ticomontana (holotype worker), S. JTL017 (worker, INB0003693097), S. JTL079 (worker, CASENT0642985), and S. transisthmica (holotype worker). Species are in order of mean HW, which is shown in the lower left of the distribution map. Scale bars 0.2 mm.
