Hypoponera opacior
I now agree this is not inexorata, but I do not believe this is opaciceps. opaciceps has a flat top to its petiole as opposed to the more rounded top seen in this ant.

 
opacior
Sorry for the late response, you may be right. I never got very good at using the petiole character - I usually tell them apart by size and color/sculpture. You can move it to opacior if you want.
