Sarinda hentzi look alike
Do you know how to tell these apart from Sarinda hentzi?

 
*
I"m not sure that I even noticed those when I first posted these pictures. I believe the proportions do look more like the S. hentzi--a bit chunkier than the Peckhamia. I think the Peckhamia might do a better job a pretending to be ants! I defer to any expert opinion I can get!

Great find!
I would have thought it was an ant. BugGuide is a great teacher.

Not an ID
But I suspect you are correct due to the Jumper's eyes.
