Solenopsis decipiens var. scelesta Forel 1908b: 364. [w syntypes examined, MHNG , NHMB ; São Paulo , Brasil ( Ihering )] .
Solenopsis scelesta is a relatively gracile species that can be recognized by the following combination of character states: head width> 0.4 mm; compound eyes comprised of about 8-10 ommatidia; dorsal propodeal face about twice as long as declivitous face; dorsal face of propodeum smooth and without sculpture. Material from Paraguay is a close match to Forel’s types from São Paulo. I have not examined Emery’s type of S. decipiens , but Forel’s description of S. scelesta based on differences in thoracic structure, antennal scape length, and eye size suggests that it is unlikely that both forms are conspecific. I change the status of Solenopsis scelesta to eliminate the trinomen.
Solenopsis scelesta is een mierensoort uit de onderfamilie van de Myrmicinae.[1][2] De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1908 door Forel.
