Queen size is about 4 mm, and workers are smaller.

Found in Guangxi province of China.

I'm wanting to say Acropyga. If it is this genus, they're apparently obligate coccidophiles, meaning they depend on aphids or mealybugs to survive.

Acropyga yaeyamensis and A. nipponensis are the only two species native to Guangxi.

I'd like to get a better ID for you. Can you get more accurate measurements?
