pilicornis
group overview
This group is monotypic, with the nominal
Temnothorax pilicornis
sp. nov.
being the only member. Known only from coastal habitats and offshore islands of
Baja California
(
Fig. 132D
), this species has a generalized
Temnothorax
habitus, save for the extremely broad postpetiole. It can be separated from most similar appearing species be the combination of the broad postpetiole and erect setae on the antennal scapes.
