sF Myrmicinae Sericomyrmex
Sericomyrmex is known from species in BCNM, but at present I have access to only one species currently identified as urichi. The MEK species may belong to amabalis and aztecus, and I will resolve this as get some identified material.
aztecus

urichi
Forel 1912
WWL=1.23-1.33
HL=0.70
toothlike process at lateral base of pronotum, propedum relatively flat
amabalis
