Distribution: Morocco ( Pagliano et al. 2020 ; this study). Remarks. According to existing keys for the tribe Smicromyrmini (e.g. Lelej 1985 , 2002 ; Pagliano & Strumia 2007 ), this species should be classified within Physetopoda genus for the following reasons: 1) felt lines are located on the sides of T2, unlike Smicromyrme , which typically exhibits them on both T2 and S2; 2) basivolsellar setae notably protrude beyond the apex of gonostylus ( Fig. 8E ), compared to that of Smicromyrme species which are no longer beyond the volsellar cuspis. For a detailed description of this species see Invrea (1953) .
