Pronotum parallel-sided. Oblique veins three with outermost vein near the corner of stridulatory vein. Inner side of mirror slightly bent (strongly bent on covered tegmen, and inner cell besides mirror divided into two by a short longitudinal vein). The cross-vein between the chord and mirror reach to below inside corner of mirror. Inner branches of Cu1 at apical field ten, of them, first and second as well as third and fourth connected at base (on covered tegmen, branches nine, first closing to second at base and fourth dividing into two nearly midway). Forewings slightly overreaching tip of abdomen. Stridulatory file, inside apex apart from hairs, with 55 anvil-like teeth and smaller angular tooth inside. Hind wings long, well beyond tip of cercus. Genitalia: Median notch between paired lower apical teeth reaching dorsal edge of epiphallic apex, and longer than others.
Female. Tegmen somewhat regularly reticulate, longitudinal veins run oblique right and posterior, and transverse crossveins divide them into numeral cells, mainly forming rhombus pattern. Ovipositor very short (3.5 mm), almost straight; superior valves lanceolate, rather acute, inferior ones deeply notched at base of the apical part with a short and acute spine ventrally at base. Otherwise the same as male.

Hind femoral macrosetae 2+2+1. Hind tibia with one macroseta between 1–2 much smaller setae on postero dorsal row, with small setae between macrosetae on anterodorsal region. Metabasitarsus with three platellae, rarely with four or five platellae in the same species (Figs 43, 44).
Male pygofer with rounded caudal lobe. Subgenital plate large with rounded caudal margin. Style short with well developed preapical lobe, apophysis finger like, curved laterally. Connective Y shaped. Aedeagus simple, shaft dorsoanteriorly curved, slightly narrowed distally with large gonopore on apical or apical ventral surface.

Pseudomyrmex sericeus ita (Forel); Kempf 1972:223.
Worker diagnosis. - A medium-sized member (HW ca. 0.75-0.98) of the P. sericeus group, with large elongate eyes (REL ≈0.65), convex median clypeal lobe, subcontiguous frontal carinae (MFC ≈0.02), and palp formula of 6,4. Head longer than broad (Cl≈0.85). Basal face of propodeum shorter than declivitous face and meeting the latter at an angle. Petiole short, high (PLI> 1.00), with sharp dorsolateral margins; in profile anterior and dorsal faces of petiole weakly differentiated, rounding sharply into the vertical posterior face (Fig. 2). Body with fine punctulate-coriarious sculpture, opaque. Standing pilosity very sparse; a pair of stout setae present on the pronotal humeri, petiole, and postpetiole. Dark brown-black, with lighter brown maculation variably present on the pronotum, petiole, postpetiole, fronto-clypeal complex, and appendages.
Taxonomic comments. - This is one of several species originally described as “varieties” of P. sericeus (Mayr). Workers of P. ita can be distinguished from those of P. sericeus by the angulate shape of their petiole, especially in lateral view (Fig. 2); the petiole of P. sericeus is subtriangular in profile, with more gently rounded edges.
Distribution and biology. - P. ita occurs from Mexico to Colombia, and typically inhabits dead twigs or branches of various woody plants. It has been collected from thorns of Acacia cornigera in Mexico and A. collinsii in Costa Rica and Panama.

Colouration and structure as described by Distant (1918). Crown of vertex more than 1.5 times as broad between eyes as medially long. Pronotum more than twice as long as crown.
Female genitalia. Seventh sternite longer medially than sixth, lateral angles of posterior margin rounded, posterior margin medially produced with median concavity, lateral margins of concavity smoothly rounded, area adjacent to median projection concave
Measurement. Female 6.4 mm long, head 2.64 mm wide across eyes, 3.04 mm across pronotum.
Material examined. INDIA: Lectotype ♀ (here designated), ‘ Type H. T’, ‘ Penthimia badia Distant, type’ ‘72 8 CB 6.13 [on reverse of specimen mount]’, ‘ Chikkaballapura, S. India, T. V. Campbell’. ‘ S. India, E.A. Butler, 1915 60’ (BMNH).
Remarks. This species was described from an unknown number of specimens (syntypic) with the following data: ‘South India; Chikkaballapura (T.V. Campbell)’. It is known only from the female lectotype and can be distinguished by the smoothly rounded lateral angles of the median projection of the posterior margin and the eighth tergite extending posteriorly to 0.75 length of the pygofer posteriorly.

Pseudomyrmex kuenckeli (Emery); Kusnezov 1953: 214.
Worker diagnosis. - A member of the P. viduus group, easily recognized by the shiny broad head (Cl≈1.12), short eyes (REL 0.46), flattened mesosoma, blocky petiole, and abundant pilosity (Fig. 3). For further description see Kempf (1961:402).
Distribution and biology. - This is a widely distributed but generally uncommon species, found from Mexico to Argentina and Brazil. P. kuenckeli appears to have a preference for nesting in large dead branches, in somewhat open or seasonally dry forest. Its association with ant acacias is sporadic at best and based upon two records from Costa Rica: Emery (1891:168) reported a single specimen collected by Alfaro from a swollen-thom acacia, and Menozzi (1927b) recorded a collection by H. Schmidt from Acacia “spadicigera” (probably a misidentification of A. collinsii) near San Jose.
