The black hairs correspond to the solid longitudinal keel-like dorsal extensions of the posterior sections of the ant's thorax. Species it contains fourteen species in North America, North, Central America, Central, and South America: *''Myrmecotypus fuliginosus'' O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1894 (Type species, type) – Mexico *''Myrmecotypus haddadi'' Perger & Rubio, 2021 – Bolivia *''Myrmecotypus iguazu'' Rubio & Arbino, 2009 – Bolivia, Argentina *''Myrm ...
