Description
Sphinctomyrmex marcoyi is known only from the holotype, a worker collected from a soil sample. Nothing is known about its biology.[1] S. marcoyi can be easily separated from other species in the genus by its comparatively diminutive size, conspicuously elongate head, comparatively short scapes, and by the presence of a smooth longitudinal stripe on the dorsum of mesosoma, which is otherwise covered by foveolae and subdecumbent to erect hairs.[1]
