Overview
Colonies of these ants are small, often with less than 100 workers, and are usually found in rotting logs or stumps or in moist soil. The cryptic workers are slow-moving; prey seems to consist exclusively of eggs of other arthropods found while foraging in leaf litter. These ants are seldom encountered.
