Jacky we now have two species of Papyrius and need close ups particularly of head to tell them a part. Jon do we need a Papyrius sp (undetermined) category. This is very close to the location where I collected ants and you determined them as the undescribed species

Michael - Thanks. I am sorry, but I cannot get a close-up of the head with my camera or phone. These photos are the best I can do. I will speak to a couple of other people who may be able to help. Thanks, Jacky
