How to identify Acromyrmex ?
I keep few Acromyrmex queens from Brazil but I don't know the specie, I only know they are not Acromyrmex octospinosus and Acromyrmex lundi.
I have a binocular microscope to identify them but I haven't got Acromyrmex key.
Someone can give me an Acromyrmex key or tell me how to identify them ?

I am trying to find a way to embed the code to full documents but in the mean time here is a link to an identification key for Acromyrmex in Brazil.

Thats a useful guide, Jackie. Actually I would think somewhere there would be a complete taxonomic key to identifying Atta and Acromyrmex species. That would be a good tool!
