That makes me so happy that I was right about the genus again the eyes aren't so great. However im curious what makes it depilis? I'm amazed the quality was good enough for an accurate ID

Oops depilis - without hair
B. depilis is the only species from the genus which lives that far north.
Are you sure? I thought queens of that species were larger than 4 mm.

Yup! All Brachymyrmex queens are small.
