This taxon is characterized by the following traits: Antenna 9-segmented with 2-segmented club, trapezoidal promesonotum in dorsal view, propodeal spiracles situated on the propodeal edges, and the fourth abdominal sternite with a pair of rounded recurved anterolateral extensions which curve up onto the dorsal surface of the segment. Apparently this ant is close to the genera Allomerus and Diplomorium in the Solenopsidini, but its tribal attribution remains difficult because of the inadequate resolution of the phylogenetic relationships within the Myrmicinae.10aBrazil10aDiaphoromyrma sofiae10aformicidae10aHymenoptera10anew genus10anew species1 aNASCIMENTO, I.C., DO  uhttp://seag-insectes.com/fr/node/284
