I mean, only an estimated 50% of ant species are known so who knows, this could be a new species.

Maybe, maybe not.

I would scrap Pseudolasius off that list, their eggs and behavior are nothing alike.

I am wondering about Technomyrmex.

I think Technomyrmex schimmeri seems reasonable.

The size's off though.

I think this might be a Tapinoma sp. after all (the picture below is of Tapinoma melanocephalum).

Bad News: Their only workers have died; I've since combined both ex-colonies together and they seemed to be getting along quite well, hopefully I can restart them all over again.

As predicted, a queen has died but surprisingly the remaining two seem tolerant of each other and are caring another batch of eggs (not much though) now.

The only Anoplolepis here is gracilipes, I highly doubt that. 

P.S. - Caught and saw some more dealates wondering around, I'll probably make a journal featuring them.
