Solenopsis Geminata.

Are you positive on that? They look nothing alike, in comparison with my Solenopsis Geminata Queens.

No known species matches its length, inhabiting these parts of the world.

Too long, most of them reach up to between three, and four millimeters.

Shares no similarity, with my Monomorium Pharaonis [Queens = 3 - 4 Millimeters] colony.

Does match up, at all with Monomorium Floricola.

The only unknown exception is Monomorium Monomorium, which yielded no results on google search.

The only thing I think it matches up with is Trichomyrmex destructor. Are you sure your queens are 6mm? Remember, ant queens can slightly vary in size.

I don't know... That's my guess for now maybe when they get workers you can make some pictures of them.

Pretty sure, did a double take on the length.
