For some reason this is also on the list of North American Ant Genera, Anyone know where it occurs.

I chose this to be the new Featured Genus in a vane attempt to tie in the holiday spirit. They are also know as The Yellow Crazy Ant which also form super colonies.

I'm surprised this genus is listed as one that occurs in North America. Though I don't think they occur in America.

I feel we should go back to this genus because a lot has happened. Most notably the entire genus of Acanthomyops was made into a subgenus of it.

Here are links to the old threads.

Though similar looking to Aphaenogaster, these ants are unique fungus growers in that they can grow their fungus garden(s) out in the open under tree leaves.

This is probably one of the coolest looking ants I've ever seen. This appears to be a small genus with only 5 species in it currently.
