Warning!

There is a strong likelihood that the species you are attempting to identify is not included in PIAkey.

If the specimen was collected from a Pacific island in a disturbed habitat (such as a port or urban area) then there is a good chance the species is included in PIAkey.

If the specimen was collected outside of the Pacific Islands or from an undisturbed habitat (such as native interior forest) then there is a good chance that the species is not included in PIAkey. More likely, the species belongs to the native ant fauna, and PIAkey will provide a false result. In this case, you should consider consulting the more comprehensive Antkey instead.
