Octostruma petiolata Mayr View in CoL , 1887
(Fig 44)
Rhopalothrix petiolata Mayr 1887: 580. Holotype queen: Brazil, Santa Catarina [NMW?] (not examined). Description of worker: Emery 1894: 217. Combination in Octostruma : Brown 1949: 92. See also Brown & Kempf, 1960: 182.
Geographic range. Southern Brazil.
Comments. This species is known from southern Brazil. Workers can be identified by the combination of strongly transverse petiolar node in dorsal view, mesosoma lacking erect setae, large size (HW 0.85-0.90), and strong laminar transverse carina joining the propodeal spines. I examined a worker from Itajubâ, Santa Catarina State [MCZC].
