Unknown Alate Ant?? - Hypoponera

Unknown Alate Ant?? - Hypoponera
Montrose, Laurens County, Georgia, USA
June 25, 2012
Size: 5-6 mm overall
Found on back porch late-night. I *think* this is an ant, but it is unlike any I have seen. Upon searching, I thought the unique jaw shape would help, but I couldn't find anything that looked like that.

Hypoponera & Ponera are virtually impossible to distinguish in dorsal view, but location points to this ID, as Ponera becomes increasingly rare to the south.
