Newly discovered ants

    I have never seen ants, he was very beautiful, from the subtropical rain forest.
    Their workers length 3~3.5 mm
    Queen 10 mm long
    He lived in in the soil, likes to eat dead insects and nectar.
    At least now I do not know his name, if any friends know his name, please tell me, thanks!

  • Hello Ting,


    interesting ants. The most important characteristic of these ants is that they don't have spines. For sure, they belong to the subfamily Myrmicinae so I checked some asian myrmicine genus and I'm quite sure this is most probably Katidris sp., there are also some species of this genus described for southern China.


    Greetings, Phil
