Comments. Kempf (1967) reviewed the Neotropical Centromyrmex . Under C. brachycola he discussed a series from Bolivia, Rosario on Lake Rocagua, collected by Mann. Kempf referred to Mann’s account of finding this colony in a termite mound ( Mann 1934:189). Parts of this series are in multiple collections, including LACM. Mackay and Mackay observed specimens of this series at LACM and mistakenly described it as the new species Pachycondyla mirabilis , close to W. gilva and W. holmgreni .
