Possibly... I am not very keen on Pinkomyrmex identification. I'll have to do some searching.

It is definetly a Nonexistanus sp. Maybe N. Nothingus?

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Nonexsitanus does sound right, the more I think about it. But I'm not sure it's N. nothingus. Maybe N. Nonexista?

Psuedoflavocephaloponeramyrmex subnorthamericanensis neorubrabarbatensis tricolor. They are known for their ability to blend in with their environment, in this case the white backround of the photo provided.
