Ant taxonomy is a specialized discipline that takes plenty of practice, and as you point out many parts of the world (my own included) lack decent identification guides.

Thanks for pointing out the correct species. I'll correct the same in the blog. Having no guidebooks on ants around here has resulted this mistake.I found your blog very useful and informative. Keep up the good work. Regards Krishna Mohan Dear Alex Wild,
