Strumigenys angulata Smith, 1931

Distribution. USA; widespread in eastern USA from Florida to Illinois, west to Missouri; in western USA occurs in Oklahoma.

Comments. This species is morphologically most similar to S. pergandei , the only other non-trap jaw species with elongate mandibles in North America. Strumigenys angulata is uncommonly encountered over most of its range but is fairly common in upland hardwood and mixed pine and hardwood forests in areas of northern Mississippi (MacGown et al. 2012). Although it has been collected numerous times across the Ozarks in Arkansas, I know of only a single specimen from the western region collected near Le Flore, Oklahoma by W.G. Carter (examined by Bolton [2000]). There is a mistakenly reported Texas record ( Forster 2003:144). Forster incorrectly summarized distribution records from Bolton (2000); Bolton did not report any Texas specimens of S. angulata .
