Is the species identification correct?[edit]

The specimen image is excellent, but the species identification is possibly incorrect. According to the identification key of Lenhart, Dash & Mackay (2013), D. quadriceps is known from northern Brazil, but not from Peru. I believe that this specimen might be D. longipes as the species has golden yellow pubescence and is distributed in Peru. However, I am not an expert on ants, and this may be an Original research. --森津 (talk) 21:09, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
