Pseudomyrmex lizeri (Santschi HNS 1922a). NEW STATUS .

Pseudomyrma flavidula st. lizeri Santschi HNS 1922a: 346.

Pseudomyrmex flavidulus lizeri (Santschi) HNS. Kusnezov 1953: 214.

Pseudomyrmex lizeri HNS is known from a pair of localities in eastern Paraguay where it is locally sympatric with the common P. flavidulus HNS. There is no reason to consider the two forms conspecific. In Paraguay, Pseudomyrmex lizeri HNS is a noticeably larger ant than P. flavidulus HNS and has a disproportionately broader head. I have not examined the type material of this species, but Phil Ward identified the Paraguayan specimens and concurs with a change in status for P. lizeri HNS (Ward, pers comm.).
