Strumigenys ayersthey is a species of ant found in Chocó region of Ecuador. It is the only species belonging to the group of "Strumigenys" that has a long jaw, bigger jaw structure and lacks stretches in its cuticule.
Etymology.
"S. ayersthey" is named after artist and human rights activist Jeremy Ayers, and is the first species to have a nonbinary binomial name, in honor of Ayers' activism.
Traditionally, binomial nomenclature — how new or revised species are named — follows a grammatical gender binary (see ). This means that when a species is named after a human, the specific name (the second of the pair of names) will end with one of two suffixes:
According to Booher, Ayers himself identified as a gay man; the "they" suffix was intended to honor both Ayers's LGBT activism and the non-binary community.
Appearance.
"S. ayersthey" has little to no sculpturing anywhere on its body and has only fine simple to flagellate setae, whereas "mandibularis" species group members are predominantly sculptured and not shining with mostly decumbent to appressed apically expanded or flattened setae.
