New paper hot off the press! I've been excited to share this new species with you all for a while now! Meet Strumigenys ayersthey sp. nov., a unique Ecuadorian Strumigenys belonging to its own species group. It was named in honor of gender fluid individuals like myself, and was originally going to be called S. ayersorum before the Latin suffix was replaced with English (-they, as in the they/them pronouns gender fluid and non-binary individuals typically use). I was originally going to work on some of the illustrations for this paper, but I ran into some issues with my computer and was unable to complete them. Anyways though, check out this awesome paper here!

did you in particular get this species named? I know how much you love strumigenys and i know you are in contact with myrmecologists. If so, naming or even helping name a species is huge.

I did not get the opportunity to name this species, unfortunately.

I honestly don't care much for the name (please don't spam this thread), but I love the species and Booher's work on it. The snap-jaws are just the cherry-on-top to an already stunning ant, in my opinion.

Thank you Ferox_Formicae for finally sharing!
