Dorylus (Alaopone) atratus F. Smith

Type locality Nigeria (F. Smith, 1859b: 4, illustrated, male; in Anomma by Menozzi, 1942: 165, presumably following Emery, 1895j: 723) from Old Calabar; male only known (see Bolton (1995) .

Smith's (1859b) very brief description is at . Emery's (1895j) longer description and illustration is at .

The overall size, TL ca 19 mm, and mandible shape would appear to place this in subgenus Alaopone.
