Description
Small and medium-sized nomadic ants, body length from about 1 cm (winged males from 5 to 18 mm). The antennae of the workers are 12-segmented. The mandibular palp is 2-segmented, the lower labial palp consists of 2-3 segments. Mandibles are triangular. Eyes are missing or reduced to several facets. Ocellia and antennal grooves absent. Claws of legs are simple without additional teeth on a concave surface. The propodeum is round, without teeth. The posterior thorax is located in its upper lateral part or near the midline of the propodeum. Shins of middle and hind legs with one comb spur. The stalk between the breast and the abdomen in workers consists of two segments. The sting is developed [2] [1] [4] [5] .
Ecology
Lead a nomadic lifestyle . They have no permanent nests, except for temporary bivouacs [6] [7] [8] . A lot of myrmecophiles are associated with ants. Ticks Coxequesoma , Planodiscus, and Trichocylliba move on the body of workers during wanderings [9] . Ants carry with them ticks Larvamima ( Larvamimidae ), since those in their body shape resemble the larvae of ants. [10] [11] [12]
