Brachymyrmex I think... a very small one.

Dr. James C. Trager: Definitely Brachymyrmex - Maybe one that's not fully developed for some reason, or possibly an undescribed parasite. (Three such tiny parasites are awaiting description in Nylanderia.)

I found another one of these exactly like this one on my black light in the same area.
