Description of the male genitalia of Pristomyrmex punctatus (Smith, 1860) (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Myrmicinae)

Pristomyrmex punctatus (Smith, 1860) is a parthenogenetic ant species. Colonies are usually composed of workers only, or rarely of workers and a few ergatoid queens. Workers and ergatoids reproduce thelytokously, however colonies containing alate males are often found. The habitus of the body of P. punctatus has already been observed and described by previous authors. In the present study, a detailed description of the male genitalia is provided.
