Monomorium pharaonis, HNS M. salomonis HNS and M. subopacum HNS are the only species in the Neotropics with head and mesosoma with fine reticulate-punctate sculpturation and mandibular dorsum with coarse longitudinal rugulae. M. pharaonis HNS has two rows of hairs on the head between the vertex and carinae, which distinguishes this species from the other two. M. pharaonis HNS is one of the best-known Old World tramp species.
