Eurhopalothrix reichenspergeri (Santschi, 1923) stat. rev. is resurrected from synonymy with E. gravis (Mann, 1922). In Brown Kempfs tribal basicerotine revision of 1960, Rhopalothrix reichenspergeri was transferred to the genus Eurhopalothrix and synonymized into the species E. gravis. Eurhopalothrix gravis became, from that moment until now, the species with the largest distribution in the genus. After the present work, E. gravis has a Central American and north South American (Colombia) distribution, while E. reichenspergeri is restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. A key to the workers of the southern South American Eurhopalothrix species is provided. The male of E. reichenspergeri is described and compared to the male of E. gravis, E. floridana Brown Kempf, 1960 and the putative male of E. spectabilis Kempf, 1962.
Eurhopalothrix reichenspergeri (Santschi, 1923) stat. rev. 从 synonymy 中复活与 E. gravis (Mann, 1922)。在 1960 年 Brown Kempf 的部落基本无刺蚁修订中，Rhopalothrix reichenspergeri 被转移到 Eurhopalothrix 属，并被同义化为 E. gravis 种。从那时起，Eurhopalothrix gravis 成为该属分布最广的物种。在目前的工作之后，E. gravis 的分布范围扩大到中美洲和南美洲北部（哥伦比亚），而 E. reichenspergeri 则局限于巴西大西洋森林。提供了南美的 Eurhopalothrix 物种工蚁的关键。描述了 E. reichenspergeri 的雄蚁，并与 E. gravis、E. floridana Brown Kempf, 1960 和假定的 E. spectabilis Kempf, 1962 的雄蚁进行了比较。
