A) frontal view; B) dorsal view; C) lateral view. Photos by M.A. Ulysséa. Comments. Emery (1894) only described the worker of Tetramorium balzani . While visiting MSNG, we found a worker and queen pinned together and labeled “typus”. The original description gives a worker size range, but there were no other workers in the collection, and Emery may have mistakenly included the queen in the measurements or the other worker(s) from this series is missing. We designate the worker as lectotype . Borgmeier’s (1937) original description of Lundella speciosa makes reference to the similarity between L. speciosa ( RJ , Brazil ) and L. balzani ( Argentina , Paraguay ). Lundella speciosa was separated from L. balzani by the larger body (vs. smaller), bicolored integument—blackish mesosoma, light-brown appendices (vs. brownish), and longer propodeal spine (vs. shorter). Brown (1953) synonymized Lundella under Hylomyrma , and Kempf (1960) considered Hylomyrma balzani as a senior synonym of H. speciosa based on the study of more than 100 specimens (workers and queens) from Argentina , Brazil ( PR , RJ , RS , and SC), and Paraguay . According to Kempf (1960) , the range of morphological variation observed in H. balzani specimens from the south and southeast regions of Brazil included body measures, propodeal spine length, and the bicolored integument of H. speciosa . The lectotype of H. balzani is concolorous, the propodeal spine is short, there is microsculpture associated with the macrosculpture (rugose striae) laterally on the mesosoma, and the postpetiolar dorsum and base of tergum IV have longitudinal striae. The lectotype of L. speciosa is bicolored, the propodeal spines are longer, there is no microsculpture, and both the postpetiole and tergite IV are smooth. The material gathered for this research, especially specimens from Brazil (BA, CE, RJ, and SP), shows that some characteristics used by Emery and Borgmeier to define these two species can be observed in a single specimen. Thus, we corroborate the synonym proposed by Kempf (1960) . The rugose striae characteristic of many H. balzani are weaker in some specimens from different localities in Brazil (Itambé Leoncio, Ibirapitanga, Lauro de Freitas, Lomanto Júnior, Maracás, Mata de São João, Milagres, São João do Paraíso, and Gurupá Mirim, BA; Sooretama, ES; Recife, PE; Itatiaia, RJ; Xaxim, SC; and Areia Branca, and São Cristóvão , SE). Moreover, the sculpture of the propodeal dorsum of these specimens is subopaque and slightly marked, and the sculpture of the petiolar node dorsum can show regular striae forming semi-ellipses. Consequently, these specimens partly resemble H. reitteri , which presents regular to irregular striae that are longitudinal on the mesosomal dorsum and that are transverse on the propodeal dorsum. FIGURE 23. Male of Hylomyrma balzani (MZSP67323). A) frontal view; B) dorsal view; C) lateral view. Photos by Ricardo Kawada. Hylomyrma balzani and H. reitteri have broad distributions ( Figs. 84 , 85 ), occurring sympatrically in Paraguay ( Alto Paraná department ) and in many localities of Brazil . Both species have been recorded in the same fauna inventory, but in different samples (Santa Teresa, ES; Lavras, and Viçosa, MG; Estrada Velha Guaricana, Irati, Laranjeiras, Morretes, Rondon, and Tuneiras do Oeste, PR ; Rio de Janeiro , and Teresópolis, RJ; Nova Petrópolis, and 5km N of Progresso, RS; Nova Teutônia, and Seara , SC; Botucatu, and Jundiaí, SP, Brazil ). Both species were also found in the same sample in Santa Teresa, ES (Winkler 24), Chapecó (Coll. Kempf n°2655, Coll. Borgm. Nr. 6501) and Nova Teutônia (13628, 6869), SC, and Frederico Westphalen, RS (5546). Hylomyrma balzani can be distinguished from H. reitteri (characteristic in parentheses) by the rugose striae on the mesosoma (vs. regular to irregular striae), the rugose striae on the petiole (vs. irregular striae), and the ventral surface of petiole with transverse striae (vs. smooth surface). The winged queens of both species are very similar, differing only in the laterodorsal sculpture of the propodeum. In Hylomyrma balzani this region presents rugose striae, whereas H. reitteri has regular to irregular striae in this region. Specimens of H. lopesi have been identified as H. balzani , especially due to the similarity of the sculpture on gena, petiole and postpetiole, and the similar shape of the petiole and postpetiole. But both species can be distinguished by the rugose striae on the mesosoma of H. balzani and the regular striae on the mesosoma of H. lopesi . The distribution of these species cover a broad area in Brazil , both co-occurring in Botucatu (SP) and Milagres (BA). Hylomyrma balzani is more restricted to eastern portions of Brazil , from northeast to southern regions ( Fig. 84 ), whereas H. lopesi is distributed mainly in the center of Brazil from northern (state of Pará) to southern (state of São Paulo ) regions ( Fig. 89 ). Hylomyrma balzani is similar to H. primavesi , a species known only from higher elevations in Serra do Cipó, MG, Brazil ( Fig. 88 ). Hylomyrma balzani can be distinguished from H. primavesi by the smaller body, TL 4.27– 5.23 mm , WL 1.10–1.39 mm (vs. larger, TL 5.32–5.78 mm , WL 1.34–1.48 mm ); and the indistinct promesonotal junction and metanotal groove (vs. both distinct). There is considerable variation among H. balzani specimens, mainly because of the presence of intercastes. Out of the 11 Hylomyrma species with intercastes, H. balzani , H. lopesi , and H. reitteri present the larger phenotypic plasticity associated with head and mesosoma modifications. Intercastes with one inconspicuous central ocellus usually have two darker regions on the head similar to the ocelli location of winged queens. Intercastes with a more conspicuous central ocellus may also have these two darker regions on the head; they also have the metanotal groove distinguished by a slight to well-marked depression. In intercastes with three ocelli, gradual changes in the mesosoma are observed. The 3-ocelli intercaste from Vargito, BA, Brazil , bears also a slight differentiation of the mesonotum in scutellum and prescutellum, and of the metanotum. The specimens from Maranguape, CE, Brazil , in addition to the characteristics described above, present the promesonotal suture (specimens W49, Mg50W), and also the insertion wing region in the mesosoma, as observed in winged queens (specimen P1). Distribution. Hylomyrma balzani is known from northern Argentina (Misiones province) to northeastern Brazil , also occurring in Paraguay ( Fig. 84 ). Natural history. There is no information on the collection method or in which phytophysiognomy most known specimens were sampled. Specimens from Brazil inhabit Atlantic forest areas and forested enclaves in the Central-West region (in Serra da Bodoquena, MS). Most specimens were collected with winkler extractors, and a few were sampled with pitfall traps, honey baits, and Berlese-Tüllgren funnels. Apart from the presence of intercastes, and possibly ergatoids (a few intercastes have more queen-like traits), there is no further information available regarding the biology of H. balzani .
