Comment. There was also an adult male which seems to match well to the description of Myrmapana parallela collected and photographed from same locality just a few days afterward on 15/06/2013. The one photographed here needs re-assessment but the leg markings etc are identical to the male. The high number of spines on Tibia I seems informative, and the darker third coxa.
[the precise location of Guanales might not be correct - i was at several locations in this zone]

I think S. mexicanus is quite plausible, but this any other specimens collected on this date were all immature so i could not verify the species.
