Collection notes: NOTEBY J. Longino: These ants showed a weak recruiting response to a freshly killed tabanid placed 50cm from their nest entrance. A subsequent fly placed near the nest entrance also elicited a small response. No major workers came out. The nest was in a flattened cavity beneath loose rotten bark on top of a rotten log. There were major workers in the nest (figure in notes).
