Pseudomyrmex?
With eyes like that I'm not sure what else it could be....Well, I have to take that back given the existing guide images of that genus...back to Myrmecinae....

Alate male Temnothorax?
I think I'm getting much closer judging by this great image from Myrmecos.net.

Also male myrmicine, different genus
Note 13-segmented antenna, but with different relative segment proportions from male Temnothorax. This latter may be Pheidole
