The genus was first described in 1947 from two workers discovered in Hoboken plant quarantine in New Jersey, United States. The ants were found in the root of a Begonia plant that had been shipped from Guatemala.[4] Due to the genus' close affinities to the exclusively Old World genus Pristomyrmex, it was thought that the ants had been brought to the US via Guatemala from the Oriental or the Indo-Australian region. However, with the later rediscovery of Perissomyrmex in Central America, the disjunct distribution could be confirmed.[3]

gollark: Anyway, humans don't really have good memetics knowledge (or if it exists it's in some random field nobody cares about), so your attempts to deploy countermemes are futile.
gollark: I'm not a fan of Among Us, but I respect that for whatever reason people enjoy playing it.
gollark: Where so-called "flat" designers would include rounded corners, and blurred background things, I eschew these in favour of flat colored rectangles, sometimes with borders.
gollark: Anyway, I design all my stuff with "extremely flat design".
gollark: I mean, that would fit in the context better, although of course the sentence would remain wrong.
