  • However, P. gerstaeckeri does not correspond to the description of P. cubaensis provided by Bolton (1973). Polyrhachis gerstaeckeri differs for its transverse propodeal dorsum, less developed median prominence of the propodeal ridge between the propodeal teeth (Bolton also reported propodeal spines instead of teeth for "cubaensis"), a weaker longitudinal rugosity, and absence of standing hairs from the dorsum of the body (some hairs are mentioned as occurring on head and gastral dorsum of the specimen described by Bolton, 1973).
