Gonna have to ponder this one. " The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny....'" Isaac Asimov:

As Pachycondyla currently stands, it is massively paraphyletic and contains an extreme range of diversity. Everything from Hypoponera to Leptogenys seems to have descended from Pachycondyla. This ant falls within the broad range of variation encompassed in that genus. That said, this is a distinctive sort of ant that some non -cladist could have erected a new genus name around, Brachyponera or something, perhaps.
