Mycetomoellerius turrifex is a species of fungus farming ant in the myrmicine genus Mycetomoellerius. The species was formerly placed in the genus Trachymyrmex,[1][2][3][4][5] but was moved to the newly erected genus Mycetomoellerius by Solomon et al (2019) based on molecular phylogenetic analysis.[6]
Subspecies
Two subspecies had been previously recognized in the species T. turrifex caroli (Wheeler, 1911)[1][2] and T. t. turrifex (Wheeler, 1903),[1][2] however Solomon et al (2019) did not recover any subspecies as distinct.[6]
