Comments:

J. Longino, 30 Nov 2021: Borgmeier (1955:383) wrote "I suspect that longiscapus is the male impudens." DNA barcoding confirms the conjecture. A male that keys to N. longiscapus clusters with a worker of N. impudens, both from a site in Guatemala. Workers of N. impudens from La Selva biological station, near the type locality of N. longiscapus, are in the same cluster.
