An undescribed (this being the first documentation as far as I’m aware) social parasite of Solenopsis pergandei that strongly resembles its host but with several key differences: queens are half the size of S. pergandei queens, have a smaller gaster/eyes, longer hairs, and a larger head relative to thorax. Cooperates in colony foundation alongside freshly mated S. pergandei queens with no apparent aggression.

The bottom of the head is hairless. Thorax with single hairs or without hairs. Petiole with sparse hairs or more often without them. The color of the top of the head is dark brown, the bottom is red. Rarely the whole head is red. The body color varies from red to brown.

This nest of oriental army ants was collected when they were about to split up the colony. The new queen is in the upper right corner. The tarsus is still intact. The old queen is in the lower left corner. The tarsus has been lost in the migration. Unfortunately, We didn't contact the gatherer in time, and it was cooked and eaten.
