STENAMMA FOVEOLOCEPHALUM (=S-CAROLINENSE) REDISCOVERED (HYMENOPTERA, FORMICIDAE, MYRMICINAE)

Workers representing Stenamma carolinense were recently collected in t he Florida panhandle, the first recorded collection since 1937. Worker s representing Stenamma foveolocephalum were subsequently collected in Mississippi, the first recorded collection since 1930. Additional spe cimens were collected in Alabama. After examining this material and co mparing it with known types, we synonymize S. carolinense with S. fove olocephalum. Apparently this taxon is active near the surface only dur ing winter months which may explain why this ant has not been encounte red for over 50 years.
