Moved
This species is the only widely distributed one of the four Amblyopone in North America, and is rather abundant, if a bit cryptic, around Ithaca. They are primarily predators of geophilomorph centipedes.

Sweet
Found it. Formerly Ponerinae. Moved from Ants. No idea how to distinguish between N.A.s 3 species though.

Ponerini?
Reminded me of the trapjaw ants, which shouldn't be found in New York, but maybe one of the other Ponerini.
