Pachycondyla (Brachyponera) chinensis (Emery) - Brachyponera chinensis - Female

Size: 4.5 mm
This species is known from eastern TN but to my knowledge it has not been reported from middle TN. Three days ago I examined specimens of this from South Carolina and today I noticed this specimen looked very similar and decided to collect it to make sure. Thank you Joe MacGown for the ID confirmation. Another Tennessee data point!
