Brachymyrmex depilis is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. [2] [3] [4] [5]
The subspecies Brachymyrmex depilis flavescens was described by Grundmann in 1952, however a 2019 study found no significant morphological differences for two different subspecies to be considered. The same study also concluded Brachymyrmex nanellus (Wheeler, 1903) to be a synonym of this species. [1]

Brachymyrmex patagonicus is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. B. patagonicus, commonly known as the dark rover ant, is native to Argentina and Paraguay. They were first reported in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana in 1978 from a single colony collected in 1976. It is believed that the species was introduced through New Orleans, which is a common entry point for many tropical species, but other locations such as Mobile, Alabama, or Pensacola, Florida, are also likely. For many years B. patagonicus, B. musculus, and B. obscurior were misidentified as being separate species but after a comparison of specimens from the Louisiana State University Arthropod Collection (LSUC), it was found that all three were the same species. B. patagonicus is considered a nuisance pest due to their tendency to infest man made structures but they have received a lack of attention because they do not bite, sting, or carry disease.
