The petiole is pretty small to non existent. Way less noticeable than any other queen ive found.

That rules out Linepithema humile, leaving Tapinoma sessile or Technomrymex sp. We would have to see hair coverage of the mesosoma to tell these apart. They don't look like Tapinoma to me, but if you see no hairs, then that is what these are.

I cant make out any hairs on the mesosoma area. Looks to be smooth and bald.
