Strumigenys louisianae Roger, 1863 View in CoL
Distribution. USA to Argentina; widespread in eastern USA from Florida to New York and west to Missouri; in western USA occurs in Oklahoma and Texas.
Comments. Strumigenys louisianae has one of the largest continuous native ranges of any Strumigenys species , from South America through Mexico and into the USA. In the USA, it is the most commonly encountered long mandible trap-jaw species north of Florida ( Deyrup & Cover 2009; Booher unpublished data). It was first recorded in Oklahoma with a collection near the city of McCurtain in the southwestern Ozark Mountains ( Wheeler & Wheeler 1989). All specimens I have examined from Arizona were mistakenly identified and corrected to be S. mixta .
