Lasius pallitarsis differs from all other North American Lasius species in the dentition of the mandible. Specifically, L. pallitarsis sports a small tooth along the inner margin of the mandible, just proximal of the junction of the basal and masticatory faces, and visible here as the tooth closest to the head.
