Strumigenys    is one of the most diverse ant genera in the world and arguably the most morphologically diverse, exhibiting an exceptional range of mandible shape and function. A new species,    Strumigenys   ayersthey    sp. nov. , discovered in the Chocó region of Ecuador is described. With two morphological characters, this species is shown to be a morphologically unique outlier among    Strumigenys    globally, having predominately smooth and shining cuticle surface sculpturing and long trap-jaw mandibles. Using µCT scans, we produced 3D images of the worker ant and static images to examine and compare mandible articular morphologies with most morphologically similar members of themandibularis    species group. Cuticular, pilosity, and articular mandible morphological differences supports placing the new species in its own new species group.
