Description

The length of the brownish body is less than 2 mm (from 1.9 to 2.0 mm), the length of the head is from 0.52 to 0.56 mm. Antennae 6-segmented. Scape of mustache very short, dorso-ventrally oblate. Mandibles short subtriangular with 5-7 fine teeth. The stalk between the breast and the abdomen consists of two segments: the petiolus and the postpetiolus (the latter is clearly separated from the abdomen), the sting is developed, the pupae are bare (without cocoon). Predatory species, hunts for small species of soil arthropods . The species was first described in 1954 by the Brazilian entomologist Thomas Borgmeier ( Thomas Borgmeier , 1892-1975) under the original name Glamyromyrmex appretiatus Borgmeier, 1954 ^[3] , and its valid status was confirmed by the British myrmecologist Barry Bolton ^[4] . The species is included in the species group Strumigenys appretiata along with several American species ( Strumigenys deinomastax , S. glenognatha , S. hadrodens , S. halosis , S. raptans , S. raptans , S. siagodens , S. teratrix , S. wheeleriana , S . xenochelyna ) ^[4] .
