Moved from Brachymyrmex obscurior.

Rather sorry about the initial mistaken ID. I recently collected some obscurior in South Texas and just realized how much smaller their eyes are from patagonicus.

In the rest of eastern Texas patagonicus is more common but there seem to be a healthy population of obscurior in Austin. Both are introduced South American species.

Thanks. I have another entry from some time ago but not a worker.
