Remarks
- Systematics: The relationships of Brevicoccus Hambleton (1946) and Leptorhizoecus Williams (1998) are unclear. No males of Leptorhizoecus are known, but the adult female somewhat resembles Eumyrmococcus in having a dilated cephalothorax but differs in having 6-segmented antennae, placed close together, and in having ostioles and trilocular pores. Kozár and Konczné Benedicty (2007) include Leptorhizoecus in their Ripersiellina although Williams (1998, p. 27) suggests that it is "probably intermediate between the Rhizoecus and Eumyrmococcus groups". As the adult females of Leptorhizoecus possess ostioles and trilocular pores, it seems most likely that this is a member of the Rhizoecinae but placement will have to await further study.
