Pyramica boltoni, A New Species of Leaf-Litter Inhabiting Ant from Florida (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Dacetini)
Abstract
The dacetine ant Pyramica boltoni is described from specimens collected in leaf litter in dry and mesic forest in central and northern Florida. It appears to be closely related to P. dietrichi (M. R. Smith), with which it shares peculiar modifications of the clypeus and the clypeal hairs. In total, 40 dacetine species (31 native and 9 exotic) are now known from southeastern North America.View this article in BioOne
