Comment: Before this is accepted I think there needs to be some clarification on the taxonomic status of this taxon, given the sentence "Although originally described as a distinct species, subsequent taxonomic revisions have treated Echthromyrmex sehitlerolmez as a junior synonym of Echthromyrmex platypterus (McLachlan, 1867)."
