Key to Wadeura workers
This key to workers of Wadeura is based on Branstetter & Longino (2022).
1
- Mandible strongly falcate (Fig. 13A); ventral margin of petiole a deep, evenly convex lobe (Fig. 14A); common species from Mexico to Brazil and Peru => Wadeura guianensis
- Mandible triangular (Fig. 13B–D); ventral margin of petiole less symmetrical (Fig. 14B–D); rare species from South America => 2
2
return to couplet #1
- Ventral margin of petiole a triangular lobe with pronounced anterior tooth (Fig. 14 B) => Wadeura pauli
- Ventral margin of petiole a shallow lobe lacking anterior tooth (Fig. 14C and D) => 3
3
return to couplet #3
- Triangular projection of medial clypeus prominent, projecting beyond the outline of the clypeolabral juncture in full face view (Fig. 13C); HW > 0.8 => Wadeura holmgreni
- Triangular projection of medial clypeus smaller, not projecting beyond the outline of the clypeolabral juncture (Fig. 13D); HW < 0.8 => Wadeura holmgrenita
