    The workers of the genus Mystrium can be distinguished easily from other amblyoponine genera by their characteristic head shape and mandibles; however, in some species, morphological variation within castes in body size and shape, setae or body sculpture is remarkably high, while differences among species can be so slight as to be confounding for taxonomists [40 ].
