Found at Ecolodge ItororĂ³ reserve, in/near Nova Friburgo municipality in state of Rio de Janeiro in southeastern Brazil on 27.XI.2019.

Atomosiini of sorts, possibly Cerotainia sp.? Small, probably 7-9mm range. Hopefully IDable with the white-striped rear tarsi.

Number 1.

What an unusual-looking species! I'd have to agree with Cerotainia sp.
