Comments
.
Strumigenys boneti
has a mainly Central American distribution with a range barely entering the
USA
, in two
Texas
counties (
Hidalgo
and Cameron) bordering the Rio Grande. Stray workers of this species have been collected mostly by litter sifting in woodland habitats in at least seven localities in the most southern subtropical refugia of
Texas
. The collections of this species south of
Texas
tend to follow the Gulf and Atlantic states of
Mexico
into the
Yucatán
Peninsula,
Guatemala
,
Belize
, and
Honduras
.
