Found on a beach near Flic en Flac, west coast of Mauritius.
Collected the 21st of June, 2025, at sunset; probably after a nuptial flight, there were a couple of other ants of the same species still with wings attached.
The queen is dark brown and quite small, around 4/5mm in length.

Sorry for the bad pics, I can take more if needed.

I was thinking about Brachymyrmex (invasive?), but I'm no expert and I'm not familiar with African species.
